SullivanCurtisMonroe Launches National ADA Compliance Program

SullivanCurtisMonroe (SCM) has launched ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Compliance Plus, a new national program exclusively offered by SCM that reimburses property owners for all legal expenses associated with ADA non-compliance, whether legitimate or frivolous. The new program also provides a platform to safeguard the insured from future claims by providing a panel of ADA attorney experts, ADA compliance training partners and legislative lobbyists to its members.
