Even if a relationship begins consensually, power dynamics in the workplace—especially between a senior partner and a junior associate—can complicate consent and create opportunities for harassment or retaliation. 

In some law firms and professional environments, an associate may feel pressure to maintain a romantic or sexual relationship with a partner, fearing that rejection could harm their career. And when such a relationship ends, the consequences can be deeply unfair. The associate may find themselves excluded from key cases, overlooked for promotions, or pushed out of the firm entirely—all while the partner faces no professional consequences. 

This kind of retaliation or professional ostracism can still qualify as sexual harassment, even if the relationship was initially consensual. When a breakup leads to adverse treatment at work, it’s not just painful—it may be illegal. 

Sexual harassment in the workplace can take many forms—ranging from subtle comments to explicit advances and even consensual relationships that end badly. Unfortunately, many victims hesitate to come forward, often second-guessing their reactions.  

You may feel uncomfortable about certain behavior but still be unsure whether it qualifies as illegal harassment. If you're questioning whether your experience at work crosses the line, speaking with one of our experienced sexual harassment attorneys can provide clarity, validation, and the guidance you need. 

Example:

Imagine a supervisor repeatedly making comments about your appearance, even after you've asked them to stop. Over time, the comments become more suggestive or are shared in front of coworkers, creating a hostile or humiliating environment. This kind of behavior can absolutely constitute sexual harassment—even if it doesn't involve physical contact. 

Harassment Can Happen Outside Work—And You’re Protected-Remember, attending a work event—like a holiday party or business conference—where alcohol is served does not strip you of your right to a safe, respectful environment. Even if you were drinking, it does not invalidate your experience or your right to file a sexual harassment claim. 

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity at work. Inappropriate behavior is never acceptable, regardless of the setting or circumstances. If you’ve experienced harassment, we’re here to support you and help you pursue justice.

When someone believes that their job will be in jeopardy if they don’t submit to unwelcome sexual advances or tolerate unwelcome sexual behaviors or remarks, they may be a victim of quid pro quo sexual harassment. If, for example, Jane’s supervisor promises to promote her if she goes away with him for the weekend, or threatens to fire her if she doesn’t tolerate his groping, these are both examples of quid pro quo harassment. When job security is tied to sexual advances, this is workplace sexual harassment. 

TESTIMONIAL

Sexual harassment can take many forms and may come from a variety of sources. It’s important to understand that the harasser doesn't have to be your direct supervisor—they could be a manager from another department, a coworker, or a company representative. 

You don’t need to experience a financial loss or be fired for the harassment to be considered unlawful. If the behavior is unwelcome and makes your workplace feel uncomfortable, intimidating, or offensive, it may qualify as sexual harassment under the law.

Harassment can happen to anyone, regardless of gender. Both the harasser and the person being harassed can be of any gender identity or expression. 

At Phillips & Associates, we believe everyone deserves a workplace where they feel safe, respected, and valued. If you’re experiencing behavior that feels wrong, trust your instincts—you’re not alone, and we’re here to help. 

We understand that one of the biggest reasons people hesitate to come forward is fear—fear of retaliation, fear of judgment, and fear of their private life being made public. At Phillips & Associates, your privacy is our priority. 

Many of the workplace sexual harassment cases we handle are resolved confidentially and never make it to a courtroom. In fact, a large number of our clients choose to settle their claims through private negotiations or mediation, without ever having to testify or appear in public.

Instead, we work with you to understand your goals, protect your privacy, and pursue the best possible outcome—whether that means a confidential settlement or legal action.
