Tell us about your biggest client wins this year.

The win—including the jury’s $1.25 million verdict—heightened public awareness about workplace retaliation and spurred calls to action to implement stronger protections for individuals who report discrimination and retaliation. Sanford Heisler Sharp also obtained one of the largest Title IX settlements ever—totaling $4 million—for former San Diego State women’s head basketball coach Beth Burns, after winning a four-week jury trial.
