Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.


Employers continue to be challenged in maintaining an effective ADA compliance program. ADA concerns, such as responding to requests for accommodation, often present complex human resources and employment law issues. Navigating the relationship between the ADA and various paid and unpaid leave entitlements remains a burden.


Employers face new challenges in response to a series of recent class action lawsuits filed by individuals with disabilities, alleging that their online employment applications are not accessible. A flood of other, related lawsuits allege a litany of claims under Title III of the ADA. Most of these cases have been brought by blind and deaf individuals who allege that company-sponsored websites are “places of accommodation” under the ADA, and thus subject to additional obligations beyond the employment law requirements of Title I.


During this webinar, our panel will discuss recent updates to the law under the ADA for employers and will also address best practices for reasonable accommodations to employees and litigation strategies when claims are raised.


This webinar is scheduled for May 23, 2019, at 12:00 pm Eastern. We hope that you can join us and participate in a lively discussion of these issues.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
