California law recognizes two primary forms of workplace sexual harassment: quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment harassment. Quid pro quo occurs when job benefits — hiring, promotions, or continued employment — are conditioned on sexual conduct. A hostile work environment arises when unwelcome sexual conduct is severe or pervasive enough to alter the conditions of your employment. Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), these protections extend to employees, job applicants, unpaid interns, and independent contractors. A legal professional can review your situation during a free case review.
Sexual harassment takes many forms in Beverly Hills workplaces, and California law covers a wide range of conduct. Common claims include a hostile work environment created by comments, jokes, or offensive conduct; unwanted physical contact or advances; sexual favors tied to job security or advancement; digital harassment through texts, emails, or messaging platforms; an employer's failure to investigate complaints; and retaliation after reporting harassment. Because every workplace is different, our attorneys can help identify every claim available to you.
California provides some of the strongest workplace protections in the country. Under FEHA, employers must take reasonable steps to prevent and correct harassment, and employers with 5 or more employees must provide regular sexual harassment prevention training to supervisors and staff. Both FEHA and Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act prohibit sexual harassment. To pursue a claim, workers generally file with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). Our employment lawyers can guide you through that process.
In most cases, you have three years from the last act of harassment to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). After the CRD issues a right-to-sue notice, you generally have one year to file a civil lawsuit. Because deadlines can vary depending on the facts of your case and can end your claim if missed, it's best to speak with a legal professional as early as possible.

Sexual Harassment FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
California's FEHA prohibits workplace sexual harassment, which includes both quid pro quo harassment, where job benefits are tied to sexual conduct, and a hostile work environment created by severe or pervasive unwelcome conduct. The harassment provisions apply to employers of any size.
Beverly Hills has a high concentration of entertainment agencies, finance, legal, and luxury-retail employers, where harassment can involve managers, clients, or agents who hold career influence over a worker. California law protects employees regardless of the harasser's status or seniority.
You generally have three years from the last act of harassment to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. Deadlines have exceptions, so confirm the date that applies to you promptly.
No. Retaliation against an employee for reporting harassment, participating in an investigation, or opposing unlawful conduct is prohibited under California law. A firing or demotion after your complaint can give rise to a separate retaliation claim.
