Biography

Kamee B. Verdrager, Esq.

Attorney Verdrager

Kamee Verdrager's law practice centers around representing clients in the full spectrum of general employment law matters, as well as other general business matters. She has also represented clients in traditional labor matters. She has worked extensively with clients of all sizes with respect to state and federal employment laws. Attorney Verdrager believes that what matters most is how you conduct yourself, not which side of the table you sit on. The employment relationship is often similar to a marriage and separation, always a possibility, may or may not be amicable. No matter which party you are, you are best served by being well-informed and well-protected should the employment relationship dissolve. Attorney Verdrager can help you accomplish that.

Kamee Verdrager is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center (1999) and Northeastern University (1993). Prior to establishing KBV Law, she worked at large international law firms in both New York City and Boston. She is admitted to practice law in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Maryland and the District of Columbia, as well as numerous federal courts. Currently her practice is focused on New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Scope of Work

When the employment relationship sours, Attorney Verdrager represents both employees and employers in pursuing their rights in state and federal courts, administrative agencies and before arbitration panels. She has extensive experience bringing and defending claims for unpaid wages. Attorney Verdrager has a particular interest in cases relating to women’s equality in the workplace, and has obtained a winning jury verdict in a pregnancy and gender discrimination matter, in addition to numerous successful negotiated settlements.

She works extensively with employment policies, functions as a de facto human resources department for smaller employers and represens individuals in securing the best agreements to begin or end their employment relationships.

In addition to employment law, Ms. Verdrager handles some general business/corporate matters and litigation involving business disputes, intellectual property rights, debtor/creditor disputes and traditional labor representation.

Champion of Women's Rights

Ms. Verdrager is also a champion of women's rights, and even more specifically of mothers in the workplace. While all professional women have a "Me Too" story to tell, Ms. Verdrager has put her own career and reputation on the line, pursuing her own claims for the sex discrimination she personally experienced as an attorney in Big Law when she failed to respond positively to a male partner and then complicated matters by proceeding to become pregnant without permission from her employer.
Ms. Verdrager represented herself in her personal gender discrimination lawsuit, which spanned nine years and included two trips to the Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court, where she created new law in Massachusetts, providing protection to employees who properly retain documents as evidence of their discrimination claims. Ms. Verdrager’s case is a leading case nation-wide on the topic of employee “self-help” discovery.
Ms. Verdrager's case contained a thorough examination of the many types of evidence that can be used to prove discrimination and has been described as a "blueprint of all of the ways in which discrimination can be shown." Attorney Verdrager achieved this terrific result while juggling exclusively breast-fed newborn twins, her third and fourth children, a feat which she believes should permanently put to rest all negative stereotypes regarding women's capabilities after motherhood.
