Commitment

The firm is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users. This website conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA and meets the machine-verifiable Level AAA success criteria, including the enhanced 7:1 contrast ratio, on every public page in both the light and the dark theme.

Assessment method: an automated WCAG 2.1/2.2 audit covering the machine-checkable success criteria (non-text content, landmarks, enhanced contrast, link purpose, headings and labels, target size, page language, abbreviations, change on request, parsing) runs against every public page in both themes and blocks each release on any violation. Criteria that require human judgment, such as alt-text quality and reading order, are reviewed editorially. Last assessed: July 2026.
