Retaliation and Defamation

Many discrimination and wrongful termination claims involve claims for defamation or retaliation. 

Retaliation is where an employer takes an adverse employment action against an employee for engaging in some activity protected by law.  Defamation is where a person communicates or "publishes" untrue derrogatory information about the plaintiff to a third person and that communication injures the plaintiff.  Please see the links at right to subpages discussing retaliation and defamation separately, anti-SLAPP suits, as well as defamation specifically in the U-5 FINRA context.
