Disparate Impact Analyses
Overview
We are leaders in EEO analysis and in the statistical analysis of employment discrimination.
Since 1997, we have worked on hundreds of statistical analysis projects and testified in many employment discrimination lawsuits. In these cases, we analyze discrimination allegations by constructing statistical models of the employer’s particular compensation and/or selection process at issue in the lawsuit.
Statistical evidence often plays a big role in employment class action lawsuits, EEOC investigations, and OFCCP audits.
