Third Thursday Webinar: Website Accessibility and Other Developments in ADA Compliance and Litigation

Webinar | 05.23.19, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

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.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
