Successes

Attorneys Brad Adler and Michael Hill obtained a defense verdict for a Fortune 500 company client in an arbitration alleging failure to accommodate and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The plaintiff, a former sales manager with the company, first alleged the company failed to accommodate his disabilities by refusing to transfer him to a different work location. The plaintiff also alleged the company terminated his employment in retaliation for his having requested a reasonable accommodation. The arbitrator ruled in favor of our client, holding that any accommodation the plaintiff requested was not reasonable and that the plaintiff failed to establish a causal connection between his alleged request for accommodation and termination of employment. The arbitrator thus ruled in favor of the company on all claims.
