Laurie Berke-Weiss Quoted in NY Law Journal Article about Investigation into Sexual Harassment Claims Against Governor Cuomo

As New Yorkers follow the sexual harassment allegations against Governor Cuomo with interest, the New York Law Journal explores “What’s Next for the Investigation Into Sexual Harassment Claims Against Cuomo.”

The article explores what Attorney General Letitia James should look for as she chooses an outside law firm to investigate the claims against the governor.

“Laurie Berke-Weiss, a labor and employment lawyer who handles sexual harassment cases, said the investigation should include talking to the accusers, people they spoke with at the time of the incident and any witnesses inside the governor’s office. The inquiry, she said, could even lead investigators to interview Cuomo himself.

“It really has to be extremely thorough,” she said.”
