Want to avoid facing the type of hiring discrimination allegations that Facebook is currently staring down as part of an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation? Listen to the advice of Peter Romer-Friedman. He typically represents employees in suits pertaining to civil rights and discrimination-related issues. His experience on the employee side of the table gives him insights into how general counsel should be helping their organizations bolster diversity. And thus avoid costly discrimination lawsuits.

Romer-Friedman helped to broker a “digital bias settlement” that saw Facebook agree to stop advertisers from withholding ads regarding jobs, housing and credit from people based on their race, age or gender. He is currently a principal with Gupta Wessler and has also served as the deputy director of litigation of the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs.
