Civil rights and workers’ rights advocates
STRATTON LAW
Stratton Law is a team of advocates dedicated to workers’ and students’ rights.
We believe the vigorous enforcement of civil rights laws in our workplaces and schools is a cornerstone of a just society. We are committed to helping folks who are discriminated against, harassed, or retaliated against for opposing discrimination.
We understand that our clients’ identities—and the ways others may categorize them—are particular to their unique intersection of race/gender/age/socioeconomic status and other attributes. We use social science to help courts understand the many and varied forms that stereotyping and bias may take in each person’s case.
We can counsel you about how to protect your interests at work or school. If you’ve been unfairly rejected for a job or a promotion, are working or attending school in a hostile or discriminatory environment, or you have lost your job unjustly, we will inform you about what legal options you may have for seeking redress.
challenging discrimination and gender-based violence
OUR FOUNDER
Firm founder Lisa Stratton has over 20 years of experience as an employment discrimination trial lawyer. Her clients have successfully fought sexual harassment and sexual violence in schools and workplaces and challenged employers that fail to hire, promote, or offer fair pay to women, people of color, and LGBTQ employees. She has represented employees in cases ranging from local individual cases to national class actions. With Lisa as their advocate, employees have successfully challenged entrenched and systemic discrimination and achieved nationwide changes to employer practices.
She’s done this work in public and private practice and in the non-profit sector. Getting her start as an Assistant Attorney General for the state of Minnesota, Lisa later served as an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, where she developed and directed a Workers’ Rights Clinic. In collaboration with grassroots workers’ rights advocacy organizations, the legal clinic provided representation to workers in all types of employment-related disputes. Armed with classroom knowledge of employment law, legal ethics, and skills training, the clinic’s student-attorneys represented clients in investigations, negotiations, appearances before government agencies, and in cases in state and federal courts.
Lisa Stratton is a Co-Founder and was the first Executive Director of Gender Justice, a non-profit law center that serves the Upper Midwest region. (www.genderjustice.us) With Lisa at the helm, the non-profit’s active litigation and legislative dockets challenged gender-based stereotyping and discrimination, addressing the root causes of gender discrimination and giving a voice to under-represented populations, including low-wage, immigrant, and blue-collar workers. Lisa and her co-founder were honored as “2012 Changemakers” by the Minnesota Women’s Press.
In 2014 Lisa played an integral role advocating for a groundbreaking package of laws passed as the “Minnesota Women’s Economic Security Act.” Read the article in the Minnesota Women’s Press featuring Lisa’s work on this landmark legislation.
Lisa has been available as a private practice attorney since 2018.
