Garrison Law Represents AARP in Lawsuit Challenging Yale-New Haven Hospital Policy That Targets Older Physicians

Jul 17 2023

On July 14, Garrison Law filed an amicus curiae brief on behalf of AARP and the AARP Foundation in the pending lawsuit EEOC v. Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH). EEOC’s lawsuit challenges YNHH’s “late career practitioner policy,” which requires physicians over the age of 70 to pass neuropsychological testing to which younger physicians are not subjected. AARP – the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering Americans 50 and older – supports the EEOC’s claim that the YNHH policy violates both the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

An amicus curiae – Latin for “friend of the court” – is an individual or organization who does not have a formal legal interest in a case but who is permitted to assist a court by offering information, expertise, or insight concerning the issues raised by the case.

Garrison Law partner Josh Goodbaum represented AARP and AARP Foundation.

The organizations’ brief is available here.

    Client Experiences

    You will never meet a more knowledgeable and compassionate professional than Steve Fitzgerald. My employment situation was very complex, and Attorney Fitzgerald kept me focused while remaining extremely adept and “thinking on his feet.” Should the need present itself again, I would never seek anyone else’s counsel regarding employment issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough. — J.R., New Haven, CT

    Nina Pirrotti provided outstanding legal advice and was trustworthy, dependable, and responsive. From the start, I was confident that her knowledge and experience would obtain favorable results. On a more personal note, I enjoyed working with her and her staff and felt I was included in every part of the process. The dedication, concern, and interest in me as a client was greatly appreciated, and Nina has earned my highest recommendation. — J.H., Monroe, CT

    Josh Goodbaum truly outperformed my expectations. He was calm and steadfast throughout the entire process. He is a great communicator. Together, we were able to lay out a plan that in the end, not only got myself the outcome I was hoping for, but undoubtedly saved me valuable time and money as well. I cannot thank Josh and his firm enough for coming through for me in this time of uncertainty and stress.  — D.T.

    When I go to a lawyer for advice, I am usually anxious, particularly the first meeting. Amanda DeMatteis was clear in describing my options and immediately set me at ease. Realistic assessment is important, and Amanda was clear as to how to set up the case and the direction she felt we should go. I had total confidence in her abilities and knew I was being well represented against a large corporation. More importantly, we were successful! — N.M., Haddam, CT
