For EU accessibility lawyers building a BFSG / EAA practice.
The European Accessibility Act came into force on 28 June 2025. German Verbraucherzentralen and civil-society plaintiffs have begun filing BFSG-Abmahnungen against e-commerce operators in volume. The operators they reach all need the same thing: a Fachanwalt who has seen one of these before.
WCAGdesk is the EU's defensible-evidence platform for accessibility compliance. We have customers receiving Abmahnungen. We refer them to counsel. We are opening a 50-seat founding-partner cohort.
From mid-2025 onward the BFSG enforcement landscape resembles the early DSGVO years: a small group of practitioners builds the reference cases, and that group becomes the default referral list for the next five years. The founding-partner cohort is our attempt to seed that list deliberately rather than letting it accrue by random search.
BFSG in force: 28 June 2025 · cohort closes: 30 September 2026Founding-partner benefits
- Featured directory listing. Your firm appears in our in-app referral picker when a Counsel-tier customer requests a Fachanwalt match. Founding partners get the badge and a guaranteed position above non-founding firms in the same jurisdiction.
- Lead-share program. Direct introductions from incoming Abmahnung response-kit users in your area of focus (BFSG / IT-Recht / Datenschutz). Volume to date: small but increasing month-on-month — we forward 100% of qualified leads, not a curated subset.
- 30% recurring revshare, locked in for life. When a client referred from your firm subscribes to any paid tier, you receive 30% of net recurring revenue indefinitely. No clawbacks on downgrades. No expiry. The rate is locked in our database at founding-partner sign-up and will not be reduced if we lower the standard rate later.
- Co-marketing slot. One quarterly webinar or joint briefing per year, hosted under WCAGdesk distribution, on a topic of your choice (BFSG case law update, Abmahnung response tactics, EU accessibility procurement). We supply audience, slides, and a recorded artefact you can use in your own marketing.
- Pre-publication access to the quarterly State of EU Web Accessibility report we are publishing starting Q3 2026 — aggregate scan data across thousands of sites, citable in your briefings and pleadings.
What we look for
- Fachanwalt für IT-Recht, Datenschutzrecht, or equivalent EU bar qualification with substantive interest in accessibility law.
- Demonstrated activity: published article, conference talk, ongoing matter, or court decision on BFSG / EAA / EN 301 549 / Web Accessibility Directive. We do not require seniority — we require evidence you have actually engaged the subject matter.
- Capacity to take on referred work, and a stated turnaround for first-contact (≤ 2 business days is our target).
- Comfort working from a structured evidence pack — our customers arrive with timestamped scan history, hash-chained audit trail, and the Abmahnung text already triaged.
We are particularly interested in coverage outside DE: at present we have stronger informal contact networks in Germany than in France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, or the Nordics. EU-wide reach is the explicit medium-term goal.
How to apply
Email partners@wcagdesk.eu with:
- Firm name, jurisdiction, primary city.

- Areas of focus (BFSG, EAA, IT-Recht, Datenschutz, public-sector procurement, etc.).
- Languages of practice.
We respond within two business days. Selected partners receive a written engagement letter setting out the revshare and referral terms, and a profile we publish in the in-app directory.
