Ruberto Israel & Weiner’s Litigation Team Obtains Dismissal Of Gender Discrimination
Claim.
Christopher P. Litterio, Managing Shareholder, and David W. Robinson recently obtained
summary judgment from the Massachusetts Superior Court dismissing the case filed
against their client by a former employee alleging gender discrimination and hostile work
environment claims. The former employee claimed that the Company created work
environment hostile to women, and that it discriminated against her on the basis of
gender when it terminated her employment. Based on the evidence obtained by RIW
through discovery, the Court found that there was no basis to support the Employee’s
claims.

RIW's trial team recently won a jury verdict for an international consulting firm
|

Friday, 22 July 2011

RIW's trial team of Christopher Litterio and Michael Duffy recently won a jury verdict for an international consulting firm in an employment wage and hour action. The case
arose as a class action advanced by a former entry level consultant claiming misclassification as an exempt employee and failure to pay overtime
wages. Specifically, the Plaintiff employee claimed that entry level associates only performed rote tasks such as typing interview notes and compiling research into
spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. Our client argued that the employee met the administrative exemption from overtime pay requirements because entry level
associates performed important research and analysis requiring significant judgment and discretion. Through discovery, we were able to develop evidence that Plaintiff's description of his duties and responsibilities was not representative of entry level associates, who typically exercised independent judgment and discretion. As a result, RIW successfully defeated
certification of the class in a pretrial motion. At trial, we established that the Plaintiff qualified for the administrative exemption due to the significant amount of judgment
and discretion he exercised on a daily basis, resulting in a verdict in favor of our client on all claims after a four day jury trial in Suffolk County Superior Court. The
verdict was returned after less than an hour of deliberations. For more information or questions, contact Chris Litterio at (617) 742-4200 or
