[blindlaw] Managing Due Diligence and accessibility of virtual data rooms?

[Gerard Sadlier]

Hi Amar,

If there is really no way to print or download documents and no way to
get an accessible version of such documents on the dataroom, you have
got a real problem. In my experience, it usually is possible to
download or print documents and I know that several partners at the
firm I work in always get docs printed for their review.

I wonder if you could check with sighted colleagues to establish if
they can print and download? If so, they may be able to download a
batch for you.

This is a difficult problem and an issue which I think this
association could usefully raise with the providers of such platforms.
In principle, the work should be especially accessible, since the
material is pre-scanned and it is only the inaccessibility of the
technology used that makes it otherwise.

Kind regards

Ger
