Executive ADA Accommodations

Executive ADA Accommodations: Protect Your Career While Securing Your Rights

Are you a C-suite executive or senior professional with a disability facing return-to-office pressure? You don’t have to choose between your health and your career. At Loftus and Eisenberg, we help high-level professionals secure reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-including remote work, flexible schedules, and more-while protecting your executive position, reputation, and long-term career trajectory.

ADA Rights for Executives: What You Need to Know

Many executives don’t realize that the ADA protects visible and invisible disabilities, whether permanent or temporary. As a qualified individual, you have the right to request reasonable accommodations that enable you to perform essential job functions without jeopardizing your leadership role.

Disabilities that often qualify include:

• Chronic pain or mobility impairments
• Autoimmune conditions or long COVID
• Mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety, PTSD, ADHD)
• Neurological disorders or sensory processing issues

You are not required to disclose detailed medical records-only enough documentation to support your accommodation request.

Common Executive Accommodations

We specialize in helping executives obtain accommodations tailored to their roles, including:

• Remote or Hybrid Work: For executives with disabilities that make commuting or in-office work difficult, remote or hybrid arrangements are often reasonable accommodations-especially when performance has already been proven remotely.
• Flexible Schedules: Adjusted hours to accommodate energy levels, medical treatments, or disability-related needs.
• Travel Modifications: Reduced or adjusted travel responsibilities for executives with mobility issues or conditions aggravated by travel.
• Ergonomic & Assistive Tech: Specialized office setups, software, or accessibility tools to support productivity and reduce physical strain.
• Communication Adjustments: Alternative formats or technology for meetings, presentations, or reporting-ideal for executives with cognitive, hearing, or speech impairments.
• Medical Leave or Intermittent Time Off: Beyond FMLA, ADA accommodations may include intermittent leave for flare-ups or treatment schedules.

Why Executive-Level Accommodations Require Strategic Legal Help

Accommodation requests at the executive level involve more than just HR paperwork. Issues like leadership visibility, succession planning, and board politics make these situations more complex. We understand how to:

• Navigate corporate sensitivities and internal politics
• Maintain professional reputation and confidentiality
• Communicate at a senior level with HR and legal teams
• Strategically define “essential functions” of your role to support accommodation eligibility

Our Flat Fee Model: Designed for Executives

Unlike traditional hourly billing, our flat fee structure offers predictable, comprehensive legal support-ideal for executives who value transparency, efficiency, and strategic partnership.

Benefits of Flat Fee Legal Services

• Cost Certainty: Know your total legal cost upfront
• Unlimited Communication: Call, email, or meet anytime-no billing clock
• Full-Service Coverage: From counseling related to obtaining medical documentation
• Career Protection Focus: Strategic, outcome-driven representation
• No Surprise Invoices: Clear payment plans and milestone options

Example: Executive ADA matters often require 40-60 hours of legal work. Under hourly billing, that could exceed $20,000. Our flat fees cover the same scope-often at a fraction of the cost.

What’s Included in Our ADA Executive Accommodation Package

Every flat fee package includes:

• Initial Legal Assessment
• Medical Documentation Support
• Accommodation Request Drafting
• HR/Employer Communication & Negotiation
• Interactive Process Oversight
• Implementation Monitoring
• Ongoing Compliance & Retaliation Protection

We offer tiered packages based on case complexity-from straightforward remote work requests to high-stakes executive matters involving board-level dynamics.

Remote Work Accommodations: A New ADA Frontier

Many executive roles once assumed to require in-person presence have transitioned successfully to remote formats. Now, with return-to-office mandates in play, remote work is one of the most contested ADA accommodations-and one of the most defensible when handled correctly.

We help:

• Demonstrate that your essential functions can be performed remotely
• Document performance success in remote settings
• Counter undue hardship claims with industry data and precedent
• Structure long-term, sustainable remote work plans

Protecting Against Retaliation

The ADA prohibits retaliation for requesting accommodations-but executives often face subtle forms of pushback, such as:

• Exclusion from leadership decisions
• Reassigned duties or diminished responsibilities
• Negative performance reviews

We provide ongoing retaliation monitoring and intervene quickly if your rights are violated.
