PROF 14

Marc D. Greenbaum, mgreenba@suffolk.edu, Suffolk University Law School, 120 Tremont Street , Suite 320-F, Boston, MA 02108-4977
This session will explore ways of identifying, proving and remedying actual and potential violations of the laws prohibiting age discrimination in employment. To that end, the speaker will discuss the theories by which individuals prove and employers defend against age discrimination claims and how the potential claims and defenses are likely to arise in the event of major corporate restructurings. The session will help individuals and employers determine when legal advice should be sought, methods for identifying attorneys capable or providing superior representation, the nature and costs of the litigation process, the financial and other remedies in age discrimination disputes and methods for resolving discrimination claims outside the normal judicial process.
