sions establishing that “but for” causation is a sweeping standard that allows for more than

one “but for” cause

• How to frame your evidence to prove discrimination

• How to demonstrate pretext and challenge the employer’s alleged legitimate reasons for the

adverse action

• Arguments and strategies to establish age-related comments as evidence of bias

Remedies: Tips for maximizing your client’s damages

Summary Judgment

discrimination

untary” waiver or release
