The New World of Addressing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace (State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting 2022)

Recent amendments to Texas labor codes are making it far easier for workers to pursue a sexual harassment claim. Annual Meeting presenters Lea Ream and Karen Fitzgerald join podcast host Rocky Dhir to discuss the implications of these changes for Texas employers and what best practices should be followed to properly respond to and investigate harassment claims. Additionally, they elaborate on increased provisions for employees and offer insights on how victims of sexual harassment in the workplace should go about filing a claim.  Lea A. Ream is a shareholder at Davidson Troilo Ream & Garza PC and maintains a civil litigation practice centered on commercial and employment matters.  Karen Fitzgerald is the owner at Fitzgerald Law, PLLC, and is board certified in labor and employment law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
