2026 DMEC Compliance Conference: FMLA & ADA Case Law Update: A Year in Review!

The interaction and application of the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act remain persistent and complex issues for employers. Leading a perennial must-attend session at the Compliance Conference, Littler attorneys Ellen Donovan McCann and Jeff Nowak will review significant FMLA and ADA case law developments over the previous year, identify emerging case law trends and discuss recurring issues that continue to get courts’ attention. On a practical level, they will assess the impact of the cases on day-to-day practice in the management of employees with medical conditions. And as always, their case studies and some of the wild fact patterns will keep us laughing.
