Teresa
Bult currently serves as the chair of
the firm’s Women's Network. She primarily focuses her practice
on employment litigation defense, and has successfully tried both
jury and non-jury cases in the employment context. She has become
known for effectively handling sexual harassment cases with complicated
factual scenarios. She also has extensive experience successfully
litigating all types of discrimination and wage claims, including
class claims, at both the trial and appellate level. Teresa prefers,
however, to work closely with clients to resolve difficult human
resources issues before they transform into litigation. To that
end, she often provides audit services to firm clients to analyze
human resource compliance issues. Teresa frequently speaks and
provides training on relevant legal topics based on her experience,
such as harassment and termination procedures.
