Fighting for Equality and Dignity in the Workplace
Everyone deserves to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Yet across industries, employers continue to deny equal treatment to employees because of their race, color, or ethnicity. At Qureshi Law, we represent workers whose rights have been violated by corporations, public agencies, and institutions that refuse to live up to the law—or to basic fairness.
Our firm has won significant results for employees who were subjected to racial discrimination, retaliation, and systemic bias in the workplace. We fight to ensure that employers are held accountable for the harm they cause, and that the people they mistreated are compensated and vindicated.
Qureshi Law recently secured a $1,850,000+ settlement for Black employees who were discriminated against by their employer. The case exposed serious patterns of racial bias and unequal treatment and brought meaningful justice to those affected.
Our attorneys have also represented employees in cases involving discrimination based on race, sex, religion, disability, and national origin, as well as wrongful termination, retaliation, and harassment. We understand that these cases are about more than lost wages—they are about lost dignity and the right to be treated equally under the law.
Areas of Representation
Race and Color Discrimination – Unequal treatment, discipline, or termination based on race, color, or ethnicity.
Hostile Work Environment – Racial harassment, slurs, or pervasive bias creating intolerable working conditions.
Retaliation – Punishment or termination for speaking out about discrimination or supporting a co-worker’s complaint.
Failure to Promote or Hire – Discriminatory employment practices that deny advancement or opportunity based on race.
Unequal Pay and Treatment – Pay disparities and inequities rooted in racial bias or systemic exclusion.
Our Commitment to Workers
At Qureshi Law, we believe that racial discrimination is not only illegal—it is an affront to human dignity. We take on employers of all sizes, from public agencies to Fortune 500 companies, to demand accountability and systemic change.
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, uncovering the truth through investigation, testimony, and documentary evidence. Our clients trust us to stand with them in the most difficult moments of their careers and lives—and to fight until their rights are fully restored.
What Does Race-Based Discrimination Look Like?
Under California and federal law, employees are protected from racial discrimination in hiring, promotions, discipline, and termination. Unfortunately, many companies ignore these protections, allowing racism to thrive. Race-based discrimination in the workplace can take many forms, including:
Racial Harassment – Supervisors or coworkers using racial slurs, offensive jokes, or engaging in racist behavior that creates a hostile work environment.
Unfair Discipline & Termination – Employers targeting Black or other minority employees for discipline, write-ups, or termination at higher rates than others.
Discriminatory Promotions & Pay – Employees of color being passed over for promotions, denied raises, or paid less than their white counterparts.
Retaliation for Speaking Out – Employees who report racism facing retaliation, including demotion, reassignment, or wrongful termination.
Failure to Prevent Discrimination – Employers failing to address racially hostile work environments, allowing discrimination to continue unchecked.
Our firm has handled cases where Black employees were harassed, demoted, and wrongfully terminated, despite their strong performance. We hold racist employers accountable.
