Cyrus Mehri has been fighting Corporate America on behalf of workers for over 25 years and he has a track record of fearlessness and success. He has led or co-led some of the largest and most significant race and gender cases in U.S. history and gone up against some of America’s most powerful companies, including Ford Motor Company, Morgan Stanley, John Hancock, Smith Barney, and Wachovia/Wells Fargo. His results have been groundbreaking, including his settlement with Texaco, which resulted in a $176 million award for discrimination, his settlement with Coca-Cola, which resulted in a $192 million award, and his successful challenge to Wall Street firms resulting in over $114 million in payouts. The hallmark of Cyrus’ settlements has been innovative results that ensure the workers’ well-being going forward.

As a co-founder with the late Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, Cyrus developed the Rooney Rule concept and worked with the NFL and NFL legends John Wooten, Kellen Winslow, Harry Carson and Coach Tony Dungy to implement it. Entering the 2017 season, a record 14 NFL Clubs are led by a minority head coach or general manager. Concerned that the Wonderlic Test underreported the true attributes of NFL players, Cyrus also co-created the Player Assessment Test, which is administered every year at the Combine to reveal to Clubs the football smarts and intangibles of prospective NFL players and to assist coaches in developing players’ potential.
