Accessibility Statement.
Schwebel Law is committed to enabling people with disabilities to use the Site and receive its services equally, independently and with dignity, in accordance with the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998, and the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013.
Last updated: 5 November 2026 · Last tested: 5 November 2026
1. Standard and conformance level
The Site has been made accessible under regulation 35A of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773-2013, and Israeli Standard SI 5568 Part 1 (September 2023 edition), which adopts the WCAG 2.0 guidelines with national modifications, at level AA. Testing also covers the additional WCAG 2.1 level AA criteria.
2. What has been done
- Semantic structure: hierarchical headings, marked navigation and content regions, and real links rather than scripts.
- Keyboard navigation: every element on a page can be reached by keyboard; each page starts with a “Skip to main content” link, and the focus indicator is visible on both light and dark backgrounds.
- Language and direction: every page is marked with its language and direction, and any passage in another language is marked separately so that screen readers read it in the right language.
- Alternative text for every meaningful image.
- Colour contrast of at least 4.5:1 between text and background.
- Zoom and reflow: text can be enlarged through the browser, and pages display at a width of 320 pixels – equivalent to 400% zoom – without loss of content and without horizontal scrolling; wide tables can also be scrolled by keyboard.
- No dependence on scripts: the Site works fully with JavaScript turned off.
- Motion: there is no gratuitous animation, and the user’s reduced-motion preference is honoured.
3. How the Site was tested
On 5 November 2026 all 105 pages of the Site in both languages were tested – home, about, our approach, the pages for families and for business, the service pages, contact, the article pages and article hubs, the privacy policy, the terms of use and this statement: an automated audit with axe-core against the WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 level A and AA rules, at desktop and phone widths; a display test at a width of 320 pixels; and a keyboard test of moving between page elements and of focus visibility. The tests were run in a Chromium-based browser. The Site is built in standard HTML and CSS without plug-ins and is designed to work in current versions of the common browsers.
On 21 October 2026 the Site was also tested with the NVDA screen reader, in Hebrew and in English, and that test found no defects.
4. Defects fixed and known limitations
The test of 21 October 2026 found three defects, all fixed the same day: insufficient contrast of small labels on the contact page; horizontal scrolling of some pages on very narrow screens, caused by the email address at the foot of the page; and tables that could not be scrolled by keyboard on a phone screen. The focus indicator was also strengthened so that it is visible on dark backgrounds. In September 2026 the language marking of English labels on the Hebrew pages was corrected.
The repeat test on 5 November 2026 found no defects.
Known limitations and third-party content (partial conformance):
- The booking page is operated by Microsoft (Microsoft Bookings) and is outside the firm’s control, so it may not fully meet the standard. A meeting can also be arranged by email or phone.
- The link to the firm’s LinkedIn page leads to a third-party site whose accessibility is outside the firm’s control.
- Documents added to the Site in future may not fully meet the requirements; on request they will be provided in an accessible format.
Beyond the above, no accessibility limitations of the Site are currently known. Any defects discovered in the future will be published here until fixed.
5. Accessibility arrangements for the service
The firm does not operate premises open to the public. Meetings take place by video conference, by phone or at a place agreed in advance with the client. Where an in-person meeting is needed, an accessible location will be arranged according to the client’s needs. Any further adjustment needed to receive the service – for example documents in an accessible format or an adapted means of communication – may be requested in advance through the contact details below.
6. Accessibility coordinator and accessibility enquiries
The firm employs fewer than 25 employees and is therefore not required to appoint an accessibility coordinator under section 19MB of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998, and regulation 91 of the Service Accessibility Adjustments Regulations. Accessibility enquiries are handled by Adv. Yona Schwebel: email yona@schwebel-law.com, phone +972 54 288 9554.
These details may be used to report a missing accessibility adjustment on the Site or in the service, to request an adjustment – including a demand under regulation 35A(d)(1) of those Regulations – and to ask for information or a document in an alternative format. Please tell us which page gave you difficulty and which assistive technology you use. We usually reply the same business day.
7. Updating this statement
The statement is updated after every test and after every material change to the Site. Temporary accessibility faults will be published in this statement until fixed. Previous versions of the statement are kept by the firm.
