NT Lakis lawyers, joined by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have filed a “friend-of-the-court” brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in a case brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) involving the standard that an employer must meet before it can revoke a conditional offer of employment.
Our brief in EEOC v. BNSF, No. 16-35457 (brief filed October 18, 2016), urges the appeals court to reverse a troubling federal trial court ruling that found that a company cannot revoke a conditional job offer to an individual with a disability unless the company can justify the revocation as job-related and consistent with business necessity, even if the reasons for withdrawing the offer are entirely unrelated to any disability.
