ADA Accessibility
Business owners, landlords, and employers face compliance requirements that can be challenging to comprehend and enforce. Failure to comply may lead to fines or, in some instances, litigation. Attorneys in the ADA practice group at Porter Scott assist clients in reducing compliance costs and resolving disputes efficiently.
All types of businesses are obligated to ensure access for individuals with disabilities or medical conditions, and even small businesses are subject to these rules. The ADA and related California laws can be complex. Porter Scott’s attorneys offer clients clear, practical guidance on the intricate requirements necessary for compliance.
