Accessibility
Many people with disabilities can find websites difficult to use simply because of the way they are designed and built. Blackstone Chambers is committed to providing an accessible website.

Links
We try to ensure that link text makes sense out of context and that it accurately describes the pages it points to. You can use the tab key on your keyboard (as well as your mouse) to move consecutively from link to link.
Images
A description of every image is provided, either in the alt tag or on the page itself.
PDF files
Some of the information on our website is in Portable Document Format (PDF). You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read PDF files. Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded for free from the Adobe website.
