Accessibility Declaration – KNOETZL

Introduction
KNOETZL HAUGENEDER NETAL Rechtsanwälte GmbH (“we”, “our”, “the Firm”), is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continuously work to improve our website’s user experience and strive to meet accessibility standards.


Compliance Status
Our website is designed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines are internationally recognized and ensure a wide range of accessibility needs are addressed.


Accessibility Features
Our site includes several features to assist users in accessing content effectively:

  • Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed using the keyboard (e.g., Tab, Enter, Esc).
  • Screen reader compatibility: Proper use of semantic HTML and ARIA roles enhances navigation for assistive technology users.
  • Alt text: All informative images include descriptive alternative text for users relying on screen readers.
  • Readable text: Text contrasts and font sizes are calibrated for maximum readability, and text scales up without layout issues.
  • Consistent structure: Page headers, links, and menus follow a logical and consistent structure.
  • Forms & labels: Input fields include clear labels, and errors provide accessible, user-friendly feedback.

Ongoing Monitoring
To maintain accessibility:

  • We conduct periodic audits (automated and manual).
  • We update features to address known issues and to keep pace with evolving best practices.

Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, certain elements may not yet meet full accessibility standards. We are actively addressing the following:

  • Video content: Transcripts and captions may not be fully available.
  • PDF documents: Some PDFs may lack accessibility tagging.
  • Complex interactive components: Certain dynamic elements may pose minor navigation challenges.

Feedback & Support
Your feedback helps us improve. If you encounter accessibility barriers or need assistance:

Please include the web address, description of the issue, your contact details, and any assistive technology you’re using. We aim to acknowledge all feedback within three business days, and if needed, offer alternative access to the requested content promptly.
