At IX Legal, we are committed to defending businesses, principals, and organizations in New York, NY, against wrongful termination claims.

Understanding Wrongful Termination
New York is an “at-will” employment state, which generally allows employers to terminate employees at any time and for any reason. However, exceptions exist where termination could be construed as violating federal, state, or local laws, breaching a contract, or conflicting with public policy. Employers must be prepared to address claims that challenge the legality of an employee’s termination.
Common Grounds for Wrongful Termination Allegations
Wrongful termination claims often stem from the following accusations:
- Discrimination: Claims of termination based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected categories under federal and state laws.
- Retaliation: Allegations of being fired for reporting workplace issues, whistleblowing, or exercising legal rights.
- Breach of Contract: Claims of termination that allegedly violate the terms of written, verbal, or implied employment agreements.
- Violation of Protected Rights: Claims of being terminated for actions such as taking medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or requesting reasonable accommodations.
