Marielle A. Moore

Marielle A. Moore has experience representing employers across many industries in all stages of litigation, from severance negotiations through trial, and assisting clients with all of their day-to-day employment needs.

She specializes in defending clients against discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims under federal, state, and local laws, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, and various whistleblower statutes. She frequently litigates wage-and-hour individual and class actions. In the courtroom, Marielle has won verdicts in her clients’ favor in sexual harassment/discrimination and unfair competition/trade secrets cases.

• She successfully defended a hotel client and an individually named female manager in a case alleging a hostile work environment, quid pro quo sexual harassment and retaliatory termination of employment under the New York State Human Rights Law and the plaintiff-friendly New York City Human Rights Law, resulting in the jury unanimously returning a defense verdict after a 30-minute deliberation.
• She successfully protected the trade secrets of a non-profit human service organization client in a case in which a former employee misappropriated and used the client’s trade secrets on behalf of a competitor.

She has also won temporary and permanent injunctions on behalf of her clients in unfair competition/trade secrets cases. 

Marielle helps clients avoid litigation whenever possible, including advising on wage-and-hour best practices, compliance with the Colorado Wage Claim Act, the Interactive Process, leaves of absence, branch/office closures, protecting trade secrets, restrictive covenants, and exempt status.
