Akopyan Law Firm, A.P.C. On The Cutting Edge Of Creating New Law To Help Sexually Harassed Employees In CA & Nationwide

A California Court of Appeal decision helps create new law benefiting sexually harassed employees statewide and nationwide.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 11, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Akopyan Law Firm, A.P.C. , a leading Southern California employment law firm, has secured a landmark ruling from the California Court of Appeal that significantly expands protections for employees facing sexual harassment in the workplace. The decision, published on October 7, 2024, has far-reaching implications for workers' rights across California and potentially nationwide.

The ruling in Liu v. Miniso Depot CA, Inc. et al. (Case No. B338090) affirms that under the federal Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 (EFAA), when a plaintiff's lawsuit contains at least one sexual harassment claim, arbitration agreements are unenforceable for all claims in the case. This decision provides crucial support for employees seeking to have their day in court rather than being forced into private arbitration.

Ms. Ani Akopyan , employment attorney at the Akopyan Law Firm, commented on the significance of the ruling: "This decision is a major victory for workers' rights. It ensures that employees who have experienced sexual harassment can pursue all of their related claims in a public forum, rather than being silenced through forced arbitration. We're proud to have played a role in creating a new law that will benefit countless workers in California."

The Akopyan Law Firm has a proven track record of advocating for employees' rights across Southern California. With offices in Encino, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and Bakersfield, the firm is well-positioned to serve clients throughout the region.
