EPL Defense ShieldSM

Claims of discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination are escalating continually. When an employee believes he or she has been wrongfully passed over for a promotion, when an applicant believes discrimination was the reason an offer was not extended – your client could become the target of an employment practices liability (EPL) lawsuit. In today's business environment, every aspect of the employment relationship can give rise to an EPL claim from interviewing to post-termination referrals to sexual harassment. EPL Defense Shield provides employers with 25 or fewer employees with coverage for attorney's fees needed to defend a claim.
