Las Vegas Hostile Work Environment &
Sexual Harassment Attorneys
At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we are committed to protecting employees in Las Vegas and throughout Nevada from unlawful sexual harassment and hostile work environments. Our employment law attorneys have deep experience handling sensitive cases involving inappropriate workplace conduct and are ready to stand up for your rights.
Under federal law—including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964—and Nevada state law, employees are protected from sex-based discrimination, including workplace harassment that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment. Sexual harassment is more than just inappropriate behavior; it is illegal when it interferes with your ability to perform your job or causes emotional distress in the workplace.
What Qualifies as a Hostile Work
Environment in Nevada?
Each situation is unique, and not every offensive comment or action rises to the level of unlawful conduct. However, a hostile work environment may exist when inappropriate behavior is severe or pervasive enough to affect the terms and conditions of your employment. Common examples of workplace harassment that may lead to a hostile work environment claim include:
-
Unwelcome sexual advances or suggestive remarks
-
Offensive or repeated comments about your body, clothing, or personal life
-
Sharing or displaying sexually explicit content—including emails, magazines, posters, or images
-
Inappropriate physical contact, such as kissing, hugging, rubbing, patting, or intentionally brushing against you
When this conduct is persistent, degrading, or carried out by someone in a position of power, it can create a toxic workplace—and you may be entitled to legal remedies.
