Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to accessibility for all users

Our Commitment to Accessibility

McKool Smith is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information about their legal rights and options. Our goal is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Conformance Status

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

The guidelines are organized into four principles:

  • Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
  • Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
  • Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
  • Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
