Aaron Plesset and Marc Jacobs tackle a growing litigation trend that businesses can no longer afford to overlook in their article just published by the Daily Journal. As Aaron and Marc explain, plaintiffs are increasingly combining website accessibility claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act with alleged violations of California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), transforming what was once a relatively straightforward compliance issue into a far more consequential source of legal and financial risk. Their analysis explores why businesses with brick-and-mortar locations and customer-facing websites are especially vulnerable, how the convergence of ADA, Unruh Act, and CIPA claims is reshaping litigation and settlement strategy, and why proactive oversight of website accessibility, tracking technologies, and privacy practices has become an essential part of enterprise risk management.
