Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

We believe that every person deserves equal access to information and services, regardless of ability. Our firm is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. We understand that accessibility is an ongoing effort and are dedicated to continuous improvement.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Our website strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and are organized around 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 user interface must be understandable
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies
