Myers LLP is dedicated to complying with the Accessibility Standard for Customer Service under The Accessibility for Manitobans Act. Our policies, practices, and measures reflect our commitment to treating people with disabilities in ways that allow them to maintain their dignity and independence. We will do this by identifying, removing, and preventing barriers and by meeting the requirements of The Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA).
If a barrier to accessing our services cannot be removed, we seek to provide alternative ways for an individual to access our services.
This policy applies to all firm members in our interactions with clients. All firm members include partners, associates and students of Myers LLP and all staff of Dunhill Management Group Ltd.
The following policy statement and measures are intended to meet the requirements of the AMA. Any current or future policy or practice not respecting and promoting the principles of dignity, independence, integration, and equal opportunity for people with disabilities, will be reviewed, modified, or removed.
