About Davida Perry
For over 30 years, Davida S. Perry, Managing Partner at Schwartz Perry & Heller LLP has been the go-to legal counsel for employees experiencing sexual harassment and other forms of workplace discrimination including age, race, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, religion, national origin and gender. She also counsels startups and mid-size companies about litigation avoidance strategies including staying compliant with employment anti-discrimination legislation on the state and local levels. Ms. Perry has been a long-time advocate against sexual harassment even before the groundswell of support for the #MeToo Movement began in 2017. She has achieved landmark decisions, namely Thoreson, where the court ruled that sexual harassment can be proven by the victim’s testimony alone and Bracker, where the appellate court held that the NYC Human Rights Law was constitutional. This paved the way for victims of discrimination working in NYC to avail themselves of one of the most protective and comprehensive human rights laws in the country. A ten-time New York SuperLawyers recipient, Ms. Perry’s opinion has appeared in national and local publications including Time Magazine, Newsweek, Law 360, Thomson Reuters, CNBC, The Washington Times, New York Daily News, New York Post and The Legislative Gazette. She’s available for timely interviews on stories about the #MeToo Movement, workplace discrimination and employee advocacy with their employers. Contact for media inquiries: dperry@sphlegal.com.
