Join us for a 30 minute webinar with Fredericka Argent as we look at the European Accessibility Act (EAA) nine months after it took effect.
The EAA began applying in June 2025, introducing accessibility requirements for a range of consumer-facing products and services, including computer hardware and operating systems, devices used for electronic communications and accessing audiovisual content, as well as e-commerce services, e-books, and consumer banking services. While companies have been focused on compliance, attention is now turning to enforcement, and what this means for businesses operating across the EU.
In this session, we will cover:
- Enforcement landscape: how different EU Member States are approaching oversight, inspections, and penalties.
- Key areas of divergence: what’s consistent across the EU and where national approaches differ.
- Reporting non-compliance: understanding this obligation and how to meet it.
- Practical takeaways for in-scope organizations: how companies can minimize compliance and reputational risks and prepare for increased scrutiny.
- Drawing on Covington’s ongoing work advising global technology organizations and online service providers, Fredericka will also give an overview of the accessibility rules and explain the role of harmonized standards such as EN 301 549.
Legal, compliance, product, accessibility, regulatory, and policy teams operating in, or providing services to, the EU market.
Log-in details will be provided upon registration.
This event is closed to the press and to professionals from other law firms.
