WCAG & ADA Accessibility Audits for Law Firms
Law firm sites are a frequent, visible ADA Title III lawsuit target — and the irony of a firm's own client-intake form being inaccessible is not lost on plaintiffs' counsel. We audit the client-facing journey end to end and fix it at the source.
Where the risk actually sits
Overview
Law firms sit in an unusual position: they're both a common defendant in website accessibility litigation and, for many firms, an active participant in bringing that same litigation on behalf of clients. That makes an inaccessible client intake form, e-filing portal, or attorney-bio page more than a compliance gap — it's a visible, easily screenshotted example for opposing counsel or a plaintiff's firm to point to. Bar associations in several states have also begun flagging accessibility in court-facing and law-firm technology specifically, on top of the general ADA Title III exposure every commercial website carries.
Source-level fixes, not a workaround.
We audit the full client-facing journey — marketing site, intake forms, and any client portal or e-filing integration — against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA, fix form labeling and focus order at the code level, and remediate or rebuild key PDFs (intake forms, engagement letters, published filings) as properly tagged, screen-reader-readable documents. Where a portal is a licensed third-party product, we document the specific gaps so your vendor conversation starts with evidence, not a general complaint.
