Accessibility Statement

Last updated: August 2026

1. Our Commitment

Legal Flow is the system a practice runs on all day — trust ledgers, client files, court deadlines. It has to be usable by every person in the firm, including those who work with a screen reader, who navigate by keyboard rather than mouse, who need larger text, or who rely on high-contrast or reduced-motion settings.

We treat accessibility as part of the product, not an add-on. Where we fall short, we would rather say so plainly here than let you discover it in the middle of a working day.

2. Standard We Aim For

We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, W3C). This is the level most commonly referenced in procurement and in law across our markets, and it is the level we hold new work to.

3. What We Have Done

  • Keyboard operation.Interactive controls — menus, dialogs, dropdowns, tabs, date pickers — are built on accessible primitives that support keyboard navigation, focus trapping inside dialogs, and dismissal with Esc.
  • Screen-reader semantics. Pages use real headings, lists, tables and landmarks rather than styled div elements, so assistive technology can announce structure and let you jump between sections.
  • Labels and alternatives. Form inputs have associated labels, icon-only buttons carry accessible names, and every meaningful image has alternative text. Decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology so they are not read aloud as noise.
  • Language and zoom. The page language is declared, and layouts use relative units so text can be enlarged without content being cut off.
  • Colour is never the only signal.Status — paid, overdue, reconciled, suspended — is carried by text or icon as well as colour.
  • Light and dark. Both themes are maintained, for users who find one materially easier to read.

4. Known Limitations

We want to be straightforward about the current state rather than claim more than we can support:

  • Legal Flow has not yet been formally audited against WCAG 2.2 AA by an independent assessor, and we have not published a conformance claim. The measures in section 3 are what we build to; they are not a substitute for an audit, and we do not want to imply otherwise.
  • Some of the wider financial reports — trial balance, age analyses, the general ledger — are dense tables. They are reachable and readable, but on a small screen they scroll horizontally, which is more awkward than it should be.
  • Documents you upload (scanned FICA/FIA identity documents, court papers) are stored and served as you supplied them. If a scan is an image with no text layer, we cannot make it readable by a screen reader.
  • Generated PDFs — invoices, statements, receipts — are not yet tagged for accessibility.

These are on our list. If one of them is blocking someone in your firm, tell us and we will prioritise it accordingly.

5. Tell Us About a Problem

If any part of Legal Flow is difficult or impossible for you to use, we want to hear about it — it is treated as a defect, not a feature request.

Contact us through the contact form, or email privacy@yourlegalflow.com. It helps if you can tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology, browser and operating system you use.

We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within five working days and to tell you either when it is fixed or what the plan is.

6. Updates to This Statement

We will revise this statement as the product changes — in particular when known limitations in section 4 are resolved, or if we complete a formal audit. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent review.
