Brown, Goldstein & Levy is proud to share that the firm has been named to the prestigious Forbes Accessibility 200 list, which highlights the biggest innovators and impact-makers in the field of accessibility for people with disabilities.
Based on more than 700 interviews and input from an expert advisory board across all sectors of business and society, the list highlights companies, individuals, and organizations that make the world more available to everyone.
BGL is nationally recognized for its work advancing accessibility and disability rights for individuals across the country. Through high-impact litigation, advocacy, and consulting, the firm fights to remove barriers in technology, education, employment, housing, voting, and public accommodations for people with disabilities.
BGL attorneys have helped secure greater accessibility for websites, mobile applications, standardized testing, government services, and workplace technology, often partnering with and representing organizations like the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) to drive systemic change.
For example, the firm is currently representing the NFB in a new lawsuit against the Trump-Vance administration for its abrupt delay of critical website accessibility features designed to ensure blind people and people with other disabilities can access essential government and healthcare services online. Earlier this year, BGL attorneys successfully reinstated a $240,000 jury verdict in favor of blind students denied an equal educational experience, in violation of Title II of the ADA, against the country’s largest community college system, establishing the availability of noneconomic lost opportunity damages in disability discrimination cases against public entities. The firm also helped obtain a court order holding that Domino’s Pizza violated the ADA by maintaining an inaccessible website and requiring Domino’s to make its website accessible.
In addition to representing individuals and families in groundbreaking ADA and civil rights cases, the firm also advises organizations on creating more inclusive and accessible environments through Inclusivity, BGL’s Strategic Consulting Group. Inclusivity helps businesses, organizations, government agencies, and industry groups navigate the rapidly changing landscape of civil rights and achieve real inclusion of people with disabilities in their workforces and communities through assessment, policy development, training, and more.
BGL’s commitment to accessibility extends internally as well, with accessible offices, auxiliary aids and services, and a committee comprised of employees who help ensure equal access in all aspects of its work.
The firm’s accessibility efforts are guided and championed by managing partner Jessie Weber and partner Eve Hill, who leads Inclusivity.
