We all deserve our dignity
The issue of sexual harassment in the workplace is one which remains widespread in South Africa’s corporate sector. Sexual harassment is something that no one should have to endure, and the law has created several legal avenues one may utilise in order to seek restitution and gain back their dignity.
At LHL Attorneys we champion the rights of sexual harassment survivors and lead by the results we’ve achieved for our clients for over 30 years. LHL’s sexual harassment department comprises a multidisciplinary team with over seven decades of joint High Court litigation and representing marginalised and indigent South Africans. We also have a basic proficiency in psychology which allows us to better conduct your matter and understand you throughout the litigation process.
LHL Attorneys has also invested a considerable amount of effort and time in establishing partnerships with some of South Africa’s most reputable gender-based violence and sexual harassment organisations.
LHL Attorneys bring to bear over 30 years of litigation experience, helping our clients restore their dignity and secure justice. At LHL we work with experts from the United States, who specialise in sexual harassment claims, often devising ground-breaking solutions for our clients.
With our team, headed by R Hassan and Z Lundell, we are able to take on complex High Court matters and steadfastly defend and champion your rights. We will do our best to restore your dignity and all the while respecting and ensuring your confidentiality.
We advise you on which organisations and therapists to get hold of to ensure that your health and mental wellbeing are not compromised further.
We assist in negotiating an exit for you in respect of your employment. Should the negotiation process not live up to your expectations, we proceed to litigate the matter based on an understanding of the prospects of success given the facts of a case.
We provide experienced and expert counsel throughout the litigation process to ensure successful prospects of your matter. Based on the facts of a matter this route is especially encouraged where out-of-court resolution does not appear to be a viable option.
