Public Accommodation & Housing

Miles & Stockbridge’s labor and employment lawyers have substantial experience in advising and defending clients on issues related to the public accommodation requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA), along with their state counterparts.

We regularly advise clients on policies and procedures to ensure that their facilities are compliant with federal and state disability laws and meet the structural requirements of the ADA and the FHA—this includes accessibility of physical locations, and more recently, websites and other electronic methods of conducting business. In addition, we regularly provide clients with training on the FHA and ADA to ensure that their employees are aware of and compliant with the law. 

In addition to advising clients, we have defended owners and operators of public accommodations against lawsuits and government investigations alleging disability discrimination.
