Workplace discrimination and harassment leads are vital for attorneys handling employment law claims. These cases often involve violations of federal and state protections against unfair treatment at work.
These leads typically come from employees who have experienced unequal treatment, retaliation, or harassment due to race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected statuses. They often seek legal action through EEOC filings or civil litigation.
Workplace discrimination and harassment leads are steadily available year-round, driven by ongoing issues across all sectors and industries.
In fiscal year 2024, over 88,000 charges were filed with the EEOC. This consistent volume of claims signals a strong pipeline of leads for firms focusing on employment discrimination law.
Effective intake starts with confirming the protected class involved, the nature of the discriminatory or harassing act, and the timeline of events. Attorneys should also gather details about the employer, workplace policies, and prior complaint history.
Firms should use a structured intake process that includes documentation of incidents, communication records, witness statements, and any EEOC correspondence. This helps determine lead validity and prepares the case for early evaluation and filing.
