SHRM: Justices Question Whether EEOC Should Pay $4.7M in Attorney Fees
My colleague David Barmak, was quoted in a SHRM article entitled, Justices Question Whether EEOC Should Pay $4.7M in Attorney Fees, in which he examines the potential advantages for employers if the EEOC is required to reimburse a trucking company for legal fees incurred in connection with a sexual harassment lawsuit. The article outlines the nature of the suit, the grounds for its dismissal and the nuances of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court’s initial decision to reverse the award of fees.
