The Zausmer team has extensive experience with these types of cases and understands the obstacles and challenges that the sensitive nature of these matters can present.  We also understand the need for discretion and compassion in these kinds of cases.

The ongoing flurry of high-profile sexual misconduct allegations in the workplace affecting financial services firms, universities, public companies, news and media industries, non-profit organizations, and so many others, has brought the scope of the problem and potential risks to the forefront of our society.

Sometimes persons other than the alleged abuser are found liable for the abuse. Companies, religious organizations, schools, camps, scouting organizations, gym facilities, and institutions that place adults in authority over children can be found liable. Third-party individuals can also be named in a sexual assault tort case. Claims involving acts of alleged sexual misconduct raise concerns for insurers and their policyholders. In defending these actions, our firm offers a wealth of experience in this complex area of law, as well as negotiation and trial skills that are balanced with compassion and sensitivity.
