Public Accommodations

Overview


– Client Testimonial in Chambers USA

Companies show their commitment to inclusivity by ensuring that they provide proper accommodations for all people. We help companies navigate accessibility laws to create a welcoming and accessible environment for people with disabilities.

From Fortune 100 companies to disability rights organizations, all types of businesses in numerous industries turn to McDermott to help them address their unique challenges under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related laws. Led by a former deputy assistant attorney general of the US Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division – who in that position enforced the ADA nationwide – the McDermott team has more than 10 lawyers who work in this niche area. Equipped with built-in efficiencies from handling a wide scope of cases for many different clients, we produce the desired results in a cost-effective manner.
