Directions
This session provides employers with a practical, up-to-date overview of their obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, with a particular focus on how recent legal developments are reshaping risk. Attendees will revisit the core principles of the ADA, including what constitutes a disability, the scope of reasonable accommodations, and the importance of the interactive process. The session will also break down the Supreme Court’s decision in Muldrow v. City of St. Louis and explain how the lowered “some harm” standard is expanding the types of workplace actions that may trigger liability. Through real-world case examples, participants will see how courts are applying these standards in ADA contexts, including claims based on delays, procedural missteps, and nontraditional employment actions. The session will conclude with practical guidance, including key do’s and don’ts, to help employers respond to accommodation requests, avoid common pitfalls, and reduce exposure in an increasingly employee-friendly enforcement landscape.
