What Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP does

Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP is a New York-based employment law firm founded in 1999 that specializes in women's rights in the workplace. The firm represents individuals in claims involving employment discrimination, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, family and medical leave violations, and wrongful termination, with a particular focus on cases brought under federal, New York State, and New York City statutes.

The firm operates from two offices — a Manhattan headquarters and a Poughkeepsie location — and fields roughly a dozen professionals including two founding partners, associates, of-counsel attorneys, a chief operating officer, paralegals, intake specialists, and media staff. Core plaintiff-side employment matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, while the firm offers severance agreement review on a fixed-fee or hourly arrangement. The firm has built a media presence through placements in outlets including NBC, Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the ABA Journal, and has secured at least one seven-figure verdict ($1 million) in an age discrimination matter. Practice areas have expanded to include emerging claims such as menopause-based discrimination.
