Binder & Kalioundji, LLP’s Practice includes attorneys who assist business owners and operators in achieving and maintaining full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and applicable state and local disability laws, and defend those clients when they are sued for allegedly violating those laws.

The litigation practice defends claims that allege that physical places of public accommodation are inaccessible and is increasingly focused on claims that websites are inaccessible to persons with vision and hearing disabilities. While many of the cases we defend are pending in either federal or state courts, we also regularly handle pre-suit disputes and matters before various federal, state and local administrative agencies.

It is a reality that business owners in today’s marketplace are under ever-increasing scrutiny with regard to ADA compliance. Disabled individuals, and advocacy groups for the disabled can and do assert claims against business owners to enforce compliance with these often complex laws and regulations, and expensive litigation can ensue. Our first priority is to assist clients in examining their entire enterprise from top to bottom to ensure that they are fully compliant with applicable regulations.

We have successfully defended clients in a wide array of ADA-related matters from pre-litigation through litigation. Our goal is provide expedient and efficient representation, focusing first on preventive measures, settlement negotiation, and alternative dispute resolution when appropriate. When appropriate, we settle accessibility disputes with consent decrees so that the clients will have some protection against copycat claims.
