In 2010, Engel & Schultz successfully took on two different investment banking companies, one of which is one of the largest investment banking companies in the world.  In one case, Engel & Schultz negotiated a substantial settlement in a case alleging that an employee, who had undergone a troubled pregnancy, had been terminated in violation of the Family Medical Leave Act, as the result of her inability to work the excessive hours demanded by the company.  In the other case, Engel & Schultz negotiated a substantial settlement in a case in which the employee had been terminated after refusing to not hire a person of color whom he had been informed would not fit into the culture of the employer’s company.

Finally, after lengthy discovery and the defeating of a motion for summary judgment filed by the employer, Engel & Schultz negotiated a settlement for the benefit of a whistleblower who had objected to filing false documents to the government.
