Listen: The Fall of Andrew Cuomo

                   

As an employment law firm, one of our main goals is to champion change for our clients and others who experience sexual harassment in the workplace. The importance of this endeavor reached new heights when it came to light that the former governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, had been sexually harassing women in his office (and outside) for years. State Attorney General Letitia James’ report was a bombshell to New York politics—but also to the narrative of sexual harassment in the workplace as a whole.

Senior Associate Alex Berke has previously written about not only the illegality of Cuomo’s actions but the irony of them—he enacted laws that lowered the bar for what constitutes harassment in the workplace. She took up the topic again on a recent episode of the podcast The Delve with Chalin Askew. They discussed the law and its political implications.
