Class Action Discrimination Litigation
Resolution Economics has extensive experience performing statistical and economic studies in connection with claims of employment discrimination.
Our firm has provided consulting services and expert testimony in class-action, multi-plaintiff, and single-plaintiff matters alleging discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender, and national origin/ethnicity related to recruitment and hiring, promotion, pay, termination, and other employment practices.
Class and Collective Action Litigation under Title VII, ADEA, the Equal Pay Act, and other Statutes
Resolution Economics assists clients at all stages of employment discrimination cases, including: class definition and notification, data discovery, early stage consulting, class certification, liability and merits, assessment of damages, and settlements and distribution. By combining advanced data analysis and statistical modeling methods with economic and social science principles, we are able to produce customized and dynamic analyses to address increasingly complex class action claims.
Government Investigations — OFCCP, DOJ, EEOC
In recent years the OFCCP, the Department of Justice, and the EEOC have increased their focus on claims of discrimination in hiring, pay, and promotion. These government agencies will often allow a respondent to make its case in considerable detail before filing further charges. This potentially allows a resolution to be reached without the time and expense of further litigation. The types of studies appropriate for government agency investigations are often similar to those conducted for private class actions. Resolution Economics has routinely provided services to help clients navigate the investigatory landscape.
Workforce Representation and Labor Market Benchmark Studies
Resolution Economics assists companies in preparing workforce representation statistics and helps them understand those statistics in comparison to properly constructed benchmarks using the appropriate data sources. Whether evaluating representation internally or in external labor markets, it is critical to identify the correct benchmark. Using outdated or inaccurate benchmark statistics can misrepresent how a company internally and externally utilizes labor and may lead to goals that are unrealistic or unattainable. Our firm has helped hundreds of companies construct benchmarks that are reliable with respect to their industry, a particular job function, geographic region, etc.
Expert Witness Testimony
Our experts have provided testimony in Federal Court, State Courts, and other forums. We are highly experienced and effective in providing credible testimony backed by clear and impactful trial exhibits.
