Our Special guest this week, Mrs. Jean M. Lawler, Esq., Mediator will present on:
Mediating ADA Cases – Tips & Recent Developments
California and New York have the distinction of being the US jurisdictions with the highest number of ADA Title III cases filed in their federal and state courts. Mediator Jean Lawler, who has mediated 200+ ADA cases filed in California’s Federal and State Courts, will draw upon her experience to provide practical suggestions and unique insights into mediating ADA cases, along with addressing developments in how California’s Federal Courts have been handling of these cases.
Based in Los Angeles, CA, Jean Lawler is an attorney, mediator and arbitrator. She mediates a wide variety of insurance, business, and tort matters at pre-suit, trial and appellate levels, as well as federal ADA accessibility lawsuits re architectural barriers and websites. CIPP/US certified, she also mediates matters involving data breaches, ransomware and cyber losses. She arbitrates insurance and business disputes and is on the AAA Commercial Arbitration and Mediation panels.
Prior to becoming a full-time mediator in 2017, Jean was a Senior Partner in a Los Angeles based litigation firm, representing corporations, professionals, non-profits, individuals, and insurers in a broad range of matters, at trial, in arbitration and on appeal - mediating hundreds upon hundreds of cases over the years. Her legal experience has been diverse and international and she has a deep knowledge of the insurance industry, insurance policies and the various risks they insure against (primary, excess, reinsurance, program, surplus lines, London Market, and international insurers). She also served as firmwide Managing Partner of her former law firm (being intimately involved with decision-making re financial, contract, employment and real estate matters), and at times chaired the firm’s Insurance Law, Cyber & Privacy Law, International Law, and Business & Real Estate Transactions practice groups and, ultimately, serving many clients as a counselor and trusted advisor.
