Hinshaw partner Kristen Perkins was quoted in an American Banker article titled "Banks are sitting ducks for ADA lawsuits." The article discusses the suits brought against fifty-one banks in 2018 alleging their websites violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

"Plaintiff's attorneys are using software specifically designed to detect website flaws," Perkins said,"[if] they find any level of noncompliance, then you can be sued."

Perkins and colleague David Levitt are scheduled to present a compliance webinar on June 5, 2018. They will explore copyright law as applied to website and content ownership, ADA compliance, and other business website compliance issues.
