Responding to Discrimination Charges

We will discuss what a New Mexico discrimination charge is (and what it is not). As discrimination charges against employers often are sent to human resources for handling, we will examine options for dealing with charges, we will cover how to respond effectively to a charge, and we will examine how to position the employer advantageously for the lawsuit that might follow.  

About the Speaker:
