Join us for a new webinar on Website Accessibility and the Fair Housing Act (FHA)

Do you know if your website or app is accessible to people with disabilities? If your association or real estate website advertises units for sale or rent or allows forms of payment online, it may need to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Federal lawsuits for websites and apps under the ADA have been growing steadily since 2018 and impacting all industries. 

In 2020, a new wave of lawsuits in Florida claim that inaccessible websites violate protections under the ADA and the federal and state Fair Housing Acts. Our guest speaker, Drew Sorrell, an experienced defense attorney based in Florida, explains the legal precedent behind these lawsuits and what you should do if you've received a claim letter or lawsuit for your website or app.

This Webinar covers:

  • 2020 Trends in Website Accessibility Lawsuits
  • FHA versus ADA
  • Legal Precedent for FHA to Apply to Websites
  • Why Real Estate Websites?
  • Practical Next Steps
