Congratulations to Houston partner James McInerny on his recent success in defending a client against an employment discrimination complaint filed with the Texas Workforce Commission. In the complaint, an employee claimed her employer discriminated against her by denying her a promotion, citing multiple protected classes as the grounds for the alleged wrongdoing. After a thorough investigation, the Commission supported the employer’s refuting of the claim, concluding that there was no evidence that the alleged discrimination took place and that the case was not sufficiently proven. The result marks a significant administrative victory. #sbsbeastham

Wishing everyone a day filled with joy, warmth, and togetherness. In honor of the holiday, all SBSB offices will be closed this Thursday and Friday, November 28th and 29th. #sbsbeastham #thanksgiving
