Website Development for Corporate Law Firms

A corporate law firm's website should let a director find their task in two clicks, sorted by type of matter and by industry, rather than by internal department names.

Partner profiles, the most visited pages, show the deals and disputes each partner has led and how an engagement starts.

Online challenges for corporate law firms

Partner profiles are the most read pages of a corporate firm's site, opened before every first meeting, and they often say only where someone studied.

Navigation by department hides the task the client actually came with.

A wide range of practice areas needs a clear page for each

Business clients search by contracts, company rules, deals or the dispute they face.

  • One broad page fits none of the high-value legal searches well.
  • A main page for each line of work shows depth and attracts the right consultations.

Partner profiles read before every meeting, and they say little

Directors open a partner's page just before they meet, looking for the deals and disputes that partner has handled.

  • A profile with a portrait and a list of memberships answers none of that.
  • New clients rarely know what checks a firm must make before it starts, and a site that explains the first steps avoids an awkward call.

Web Design and Development approach for corporate law firms

For corporate law firms, we design the site around a clear scope, visible proof and a contact path that helps clients judge fit sooner.

Navigation by task and sector, not by department

A director arrives with a job to be done and leaves if the menu offers only the names of practice groups.

  • The first screen says in one sentence which kinds of companies you act for, then offers the most common tasks and the sectors you know as direct ways in.
  • Each task page and each sector page ends at the partner responsible, so nobody has to guess whom to write to.

Partner profiles built as the most read pages

On a law firm's site the partner profiles are among the pages opened most, usually just before a meeting.

  • A profile carries a recent photo, where the partner is admitted, the languages spoken, a direct email and phone, and a contact card that can be saved to a phone.
  • Its address stays the same for as long as the partner is with the firm, and when someone leaves, the old address leads to the team that took over the work.

How an engagement begins, set out in plain steps

New clients rarely know what a law firm must do before it may start work.

  • One page explains the conflict check, the identity documents required under the rules against money laundering, the engagement letter and how the fee is agreed.
  • The site is built to open fast on a phone between two meetings, and its English version is complete, not a few translated pages with the rest left behind.

Web Design and Development process for corporate law firms

01

Brief and material

We agree what the site has to do and collect what we need from you: photos, facts and the questions customers ask.

02

Structure and design

We plan the pages in the order a visitor decides and design the phone screen first. On a corporate firm's site visitors move by task and sector rather than by department, partner profiles get the care their high readership deserves, and the start of an engagement is laid out step by step.

03

Build and launch

We build a fast site, redirect old addresses so nothing is lost and test every form and call button before launch.

04

After launch

We watch which pages lead to enquiries and fix whatever slows visitors down.

Price: a website for corporate law firms with 1–3 pages starts at €650, and a company website with 5–7 pages at €1,300, plus VAT.

How we measure results for corporate law firms

We count enquiries that started on a partner profile or a sector page, and how many visitors read the engagement page before writing.

Questions about Web Design and Development for corporate law firms

Plain answers about Web Design and Development, written for corporate law firms.

Who you act for and what for: the kinds of companies, the tasks and the sectors, in words a finance director uses.

  • Then the partners.
  • Awards, the history of the firm and the news can follow, since a reader who has not yet found their own problem on the page will not stay for them.

A standard site for a firm that acts for companies is built in 4–8 weeks, and the delay is rarely the design.

  • It is the approval of partner profiles and matter descriptions, which pass through many hands.
  • One partner with the authority to decide, and a deadline for comments, keeps the build inside that time.

If you want clients from abroad, the whole of what they buy.

  • A site that is half translated suggests a firm that half works in English.
  • At the least, the tasks foreign companies ask for first, the profiles of the partners who handle them and the page on how an engagement begins should be complete in both languages.

By enquiries and where they began: which task or sector page the visitor read first, and whether a partner profile was opened before writing.

  • Saved contact cards and clicks on a direct email count too, because directors often write from their own mailbox.
  • Total visits say little for a firm of this kind.
