New York has long been a vanguard for civil and human rights, yet this commitment has also made the state the national epicenter for Title III litigation. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as the even more stringent New York State and City Human Rights Laws, businesses are increasingly targeted for barriers that are not merely physical, but digital.
Claims fall into two broad categories: barriers at your physical premises, and barriers on your website or mobile app. Each has its own risks and defense strategies, described on the pages below.
Our Strategic Approach
As you scale your enterprise through digital platforms, Ankaa Law acts as your strategic safeguard. Litigation is a process that can be managed with a calculated, professional approach. Our legal team provides the strategic counsel necessary to navigate these claims.
- Tactical litigation defense: We defend your interests in federal and state courts, leveraging deep knowledge of ADA statutes and evolving case law to seek dismissals or favorable rulings.
- Strategic negotiation: When appropriate, we negotiate with plaintiffs to reach settlements that minimize both financial exposure and operational disruption.
- Prevention: We help businesses and landlords identify and address likely barriers before a claim arrives, and allocate accessibility responsibilities clearly in commercial leases.
