In March 1990, people with disabilities
made their way up the capitol steps to
demand, and demonstrate the need
for, equal access. The Americans with
Disabilities Act passed four months
later.

Advancing Reproductive Rights
More than 18 months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the firm continues to work with the ACLU-NJ and the NYCLU to ensure that abortion providers in these safe-haven states can meet the increased need for services. With the ACLU-NJ, we have created and updated FAQs on abortion rights in New Jersey, and with the NYCLU we have analyzed how a pending state constitutional amendment might strengthen protection for reproductive rights in New York.
In addition, we have provided legal advice to the leading organizations in New Jersey that support reproductive health care. Our corporate lawyers helped form a nonprofit that offers financial assistance for patients, including those traveling to New Jersey for care. Our insurance team assisted a large funding organization with rethinking and re-sourcing its coverage. On behalf of an organization that transports patients to and from their appointments, our litigators drafted a volunteer policy and a patient handout that advises on confidentiality and risk mitigation. These legal services help strengthen the infrastructure that supports the delivery of comprehensive reproductive health care in the state.
