We are Boston employment attorneys devoted exclusively to the representation of employees. Conforto Law Group, P.C. concentrates in employment law and represents employees in matters involving wrongful termination and discrimination based on age, gender, pregnancy, race, disability, and religion. We stand up for employees who face abusive workplace conditions such as sexual harassment and workplace retaliation. On behalf of executives and senior-level employees, we draft employment contracts, negotiate severance packages, and address non-compete issues.

Pursuing an employment law claim is a significant decision. The process requires planning, patience, and perseverance. We are committed to safeguarding your immediate and long-term career prospects. One approach does not fit all situations. Very often, we find that the best way to address a conflict is to prevent an already adversarial situation from escalating.

Practice Areas Description

The Conforto Law Group focuses exclusively on employment law. Our practice offerings allow us to respond quickly and effectively to the critical legal issues that our clients face in the employment law context:

- Wrongful Termination

We place great emphasis on preparation by gathering facts and obtaining witness statements in the early stages in order to effectively leverage the merits of each claim.

- Age Discrimination

Conforto Law Group assists you if you have been discriminated against at your place of employment and are 40 years of age or older. In many cases, the plaintiff lacks direct evidence of discrimination and must prove discriminatory intent indirectly by inference. The Supreme Court has created a structure for analyzing these types of cases through the use of circumstantial evidence, commonly known as the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting formula. There are certain actions that can be taken to assert your rights.

- Gender Discrimination

Conforto Law Group represents individuals in Greater Boston and throughout Massachusetts who have been subjected to adverse employment actions and unfair treatment based on gender.

- Race Discrimination

An employer may also violate state and federal law where it excludes minorities from positions or groups employees such that certain jobs are predominately held by individuals of a certain race, color, or national origin.

- Disability and Handicap Discrimination

Examples of handicaps include vision or hearing impairment, a heart condition, or depression. A "qualified" handicapped person must be able to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without a reasonable accommodation.

- Whistleblower & Workplace Retaliation
