Naomi R. Shatz

I represent employees and students facing discrimination, retaliation, and civil rights violations.

In my education discrimination work I represent students, teachers, and professors at all levels of education who have experienced discrimination, harassment, or assault at school, or who are being accused of committing violations of their schools policies related to sexual misconduct, academic misconduct, and other matters. I represent these students both in their internal school disciplinary processes, in complaints to federal agencies, and in litigation where necessary to enforce their rights.  My familiarity with schools' unorthodox adjudicatory procedures, substantial knowledge of Title IX, and understanding of sexual violence issues results in excellent outcomes for the students I represent. In addition to representing students, teachers, and professors in university administrative proceedings, I litigate on behalf of these clients to enforce their civil rights in federal and state court.

In my employment practice I represent clients who have faced discrimination and retaliation in the workplace based on their race, age, gender, disability, or sexual orientation, and she advises clients in ongoing employment situations and workplace conflicts. I litigate cases in state and federal court on behalf of my clients, and have obtained favorable outcomes and substantial financial settlements for my clients. I have helped numerous clients negotiate separation from their employers and obtain favorable severance packages.
