STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DISCRIMINATION

Discrimination cases typically rely on empirical analyses designed to measure the impact of any alleged conduct on the relevant protected group. —whether in hiring, compensation, or promotion.

We are well-versed in the statistical and econometric techniques used to evaluate alleged discrimination. Our expertise extends across a variety of contexts, including promotion and pay, pre-litigation consulting on pay equity issues, reductions in force, and the use of race in employment decisions.
