Lunch and Learn:
Employer Responsibilities Under the Americans With Disabilities Act

On October 20, 2017, Lanier Ford employment lawyer Lauren Smith will lead a free lunch-and-learn seminar about employer responsibilities under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Attendees will learn—

1. What constitutes a covered employer, qualified individual, and actual disability under the ADA.
2. How to identify and prevent discrimination and harassment based on disability, perceived disability, or association with a disabled individual.
3. How to engage in the interactive process and assess whether an employee may be reasonably accommodated.

Ms. Smith regularly consults with clients on day-to-day employment matters involving discrimination, harassment, employee policies and handbooks, discipline and termination, exemption classifications, and conducting internal investigations. Ms. Smith also represents municipalities, governmental officials, and private-sector businesses in tort litigation brought under Alabama and federal law, including claims brought under 42 U.S.C. � 1983, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). She represents clients involved in lawsuits filed in both federal and state courts, and has significant appellate experience before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the Alabama Supreme Court.
