Partner

Attorney Robert Salaman, a partner at the Akin Law Group PLLC, has an impressive record in all aspects of employment law, including single plaintiff and class action employment discrimination, sexual harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation and wage and hour cases. Mr. Salaman’s accolades have been recognized by Super Lawyers, which named him a RISING STAR in 2015 and 2016.

As a partner of the firm, Mr. Salaman is a strong advocate who works tirelessly for his clients. He has established himself as one of the go-to attorneys in employment law and workplace rights in New York and New Jersey. Licensed in New York and New Jersey State Court, the Southern District of New York, Eastern District of New York and District of New Jersey, Mr. Salaman’s most recent accomplishments include successfully arguing a summary judgment motion in a race discrimination case in New York County, a significant victory which reinforced the broad protections of the New York City Human Rights Law. Additionally, Mr. Salaman recently won a motion in Kings County that denied in its entirety Defendants’ motion to dismiss and change venue.

The overwhelming majority of the matters litigated by Mr. Salaman on behalf of plaintiffs have resulted in substantial out-of-court, confidential settlements, many of which were with Fortune 500 companies.
Unfortunately, many employers in New York and New Jersey continue to fail to meet their legal obligations to their workers. Their misconduct ranges from discriminating against employees because of their sex, race, religion, pregnancy or sexual orientation to failing to pay the proper minimum wage and overtime compensation.

Furthermore, some employees, justifiably, may be afraid that they will lose their jobs if they complain about being mistreated at work. Thankfully, anti-retaliation laws protect employees who complain of discrimination in the workplace.
