Reviews
We are here to help in these uncertain times.
We are extremely proud of our clients and the outcome we fought so hard for. Speaking up matters, now more than ever.
Dr Olivarius has some strong words about what the Covid-19 virus means for women:
COVID-19 is wrecking havoc on the global economy - and on UK workers' lives too. We've summed up what you need to know about your rights as a UK worker on our website: https://bit.ly/3dnxBij
"Our new guidance, written in partnership with Georgina Calvert-Lee from discrimination law firm McAllister Olivarius, looks to address the fact that many student complainants feel let down by the process their university used to handle their complaint. This stems from the fact that student complaints procedures and staff disciplinary procedures are maintained as two separate processes."
Dr Olivarius has something to say about Elizabeth Warren and the state of our politics:
Dr Olivarius has some choice words about the Weinstein verdict:
Dr Olivarius has some choice words in Newsweek about Weinstein's verdict and what it means for victims.
You're sexually assaulted, told you can't tell your parents, friends or a therapist, and if you do, you'll be sued by your university.
Everyone should know that this kind of #NDA is likely legally questionable AND highly unethical. Our Georgina Calvert-Lee talks to the BBC about how universities silence victims, and leave problems to fester.
We know first hand how sites like Pornhub try to get around their own terms of service and the law. Our office is delighted to contribute to this excellent reporting. https://www.vice.com/…/how-pornhub-mode ration-works-girls-d…
There are so many damaging myths surrounding NDAs, which put employees at a disadvantage.
Did you know that before you sign, you have a right to seek employer-paid legal advice?
Dr. Olivarius speaks to students about doing well by doing good, and how we need to change higher education to make sure everyone gets the chance to do exactly that.
Our former client and current scientist and activist extraordinaire, Celeste Kidd on AI, bias and how our cognition is highjacked:
"On Monday, at the opening of one of the world’s largest gatherings of AI researchers, Celeste Kidd addressed thousands of attendees in a room nearly twice the size of a football field. She was not pulling her punches.
“There’s no such thing as a neutral platform,” the influential scientist and prominent #metoo figurehead told those gathered at the NeurIPS conference in Vancouver. “The algorithms pushing content online have profound impacts on what we believe.”
Most of our McO family, wishing you happy holidays and a wonderful new year.
Our Georgina Calvert-Lee: "Today's judgment is a victory for all British children who need loving adoptive homes, and for all the eligible, loving adoptive British families hoping to welcome them into their lives."
Dr Olivarius speaks very frankly about her experiences as a woman in law, and in the world:
We work closely with the 1752 Group - they have an excellent analysis of why students don't report sexual misconduct at universities. A few of the main factors: -unclear reporting procedures -academic colleagues protecting each other -legitimate fear of retaliation
"Are we really going to let image-based abuse be the price of admission for being a young female elected official?
Image-based abuse is squarely in the squalid tradition of slut-shaming: men using double standards to weaponize sex and keep women in line. It happens to non-politicians too, when vengeful exes (or malicious strangers) send intimate pictures to women’s bosses, professional contacts, mentors and educational institutions. The effect on the victims’ careers and prospects is devastating. RedState, the right-wing site posting the pictures, can and will likely try to claim that no act of revenge porn happened at all. Why? Because like true gentlemen, RedState blacked out her nipples!"
