B&I Partners’ Article on Website Accessibility Featured by MaineBiz


MaineBiz recently published an article by Brann & Isaacson partners Nathaniel Bessey and Peter J. Brann on “How to make your website accessible to everyone.” The authors highlight how the ability to conduct business on the Internet, while encouraging commerce throughout the country, also brings with it the legal risk of being sued throughout the country. In particular, companies can be sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act for failing to make their website sufficiently accessible to persons with disabilities, even in jurisdictions in which they have no physical presence. More than 2,000 such ADA suits were filed in federal courts last year. Bessey and Brann discuss the risks of such litigation, and what steps can be taken to minimize that risk.
