Matthew S. Kenefick of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP breaks down the evolving legal landscape of accessibility compliance, with a focus on both physical spaces and websites. This program will cover key provisions of the ADA and related California laws, including the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the Disabled Persons Act, and explain how these laws apply to businesses open to the public. It will also highlight how legal obligations intersect with practical considerations in real estate, web development, and customer-facing operations—offering insight into litigation trends, compliance strategies, and risk management techniques to help businesses avoid costly lawsuits.
