Sam Schwartz-Fenwick quoted in the National Law Journal

Sam Schwartz-Fenwick was quoted in a February 27 story from the National Law Journal, "US Appeals Court Ruling Highlights 'Evolving Nature' of Title VII Protections," on how a New York federal appeals court ruling that said sexual orientation should be protected under federal civil rights laws sharpened the divide among courts and set the stage for a U.S. Supreme Court fight. Schwartz-Fenwick said that, in conducting business during this period of legal uncertainty, employers must be aware that gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals may be protected under federal law in addition to relevant state or local laws, and that any allegations concerning sexual orientation discrimination require the same analysis, investigation and response as a traditional sex discrimination complaint.
