Defending Colorado Employers Against Sexual Discrimination and Gender Discrimination in the Workplace.
The Colorado gender discrimination lawyers at Watson & Associates, LLC defend employers subject to EEOC investigations based on gender or sex discrimination. We also take proactive measures by reviewing the current day-to-day operations and recommending solutions to workplace discrimination before a lawsuit arises.
When employers receive notice from the EEOC that an employee has alleged discrimination based on gender discrimination in the workplace, the employer must file a personal statement in response to the allegation. This is a very important undertaking because what is said in the employer position statement carries all the way through in the event of litigation.
At Watson & Associates, LLC our Denver gender discrimination attorneys immediately get to the bottom of the problem and provide sound and reliable legal advice to the employer. We help with:
- Responding to EEOC investigations and request for information based on sex discrimination
- Help with employer position statements for charges of sexual discrimination
- Performing an internal investigation in response allegations of gender based discrimination
- Develop and draft employee handbooks and employer policies.
- Provide legal defense and representation in mediation or arbitration proceedings
- Litigation defense in gender discrimination lawsuits

Types of Discrimination IN THE WORKPLACE
According to the EEOC, here are some examples of employment practices that employers must avoid in the workplace. Besides the common types of gender discrimination, some examples of LGBT-related EEOC claims that EEOC views as unlawful sex discrimination include:
- Failing to hire an applicant because she is a transgender woman.
- Firing an employee because he is planning or has made a gender transition.
- Denying an employee equal access to a common restroom corresponding to the employee’s gender identity.
- Harassing an employee because of a gender transition, such as by intentionally and persistently failing to use the name and gender pronoun that correspond to the gender identity with which the employee identifies, and which the employee has communicated to management and employees.
- Denying an employee a promotion because he is gay or straight.
- Discriminating in terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, such as providing a lower salary to an employee because of sexual orientation, or denying spousal health insurance benefits to a female employee because her legal spouse is a woman while providing spousal health insurance to a male employee whose legal spouse is a woman.
