Brown Bag Lunch and Learn: What Every Tenant and Landlord Needs to Know About ADA Access Violations

Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - 12:30 - 1:00 PM ET


What are your responsibilities under Title III of the ADA if you are landlord or a tenant? The answer may surprise you.  This lunchtime webinar will cover everything you need to know, including:

• ADA access requirements and common misconceptions
• Who is responsible for access violations on a leased property
• Best practices for landlords and tenants to avoid lawsuits
• Common conflicts between landlords and tenants about accessibility issues and how to avoid them
• Strategies for dealing with drive-by lawsuits

Our speaker, Minh Vu, is a partner and leader of the ADA Title III Team at Seyfarth Shaw, LLP.  She is a national expert who has represented both landlords and tenants in hundreds of access lawsuits.  She also oversaw the enforcement of Title III of the ADA at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Self-Evaluations and Transition Plans: Some Considerations
Thursday, February 16, 2017 - 2 - 3:30 PM ET


This is the companion session to our January webinar, ADA Coordinators: Roles & 
Responsibilities.

Are you one of those public entities that are slightly behind in doing a self-evaluation and transition plan? Are you asking yourself, "What is a self-evaluation and transition plan?" Well then, this is the session for you. All public entities subject to Title II of the ADA must complete a self-evaluation. For public entities that have 50 or more employees, there is also a requirement to have in place a transition plan that addresses structural changes that are necessary for achieving program accessibility. Learn more about how to approach conducting a self-evaluation and how to integrate the information gathered into a transition plan.


Speaker:
Sally Conway, Former Deputy Chief, Disability Rights Section, Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice
