Precise words. A site to match. Law firm website design for advocates and legal consultants

Show who may act, and in what capacity

What we build: Lawyer profiles built on fields, not free text: role, admission or licence, languages, practice areas and the office each lawyer works from. In the UAE, Federal Law 34 of 2022 separates advocates, who have rights of audience before the UAE courts, from legal consultants, who may not appear in court, so a profile should never blur the two titles.

Explain practice areas without promising outcomes

What we build: A practice page per area, written around the matter rather than the firm: what this kind of matter usually involves, which forum or authority it tends to reach, what the first meeting needs and what the firm will tell the client before work starts. No win rates, case values or directory badges unless the firm's regulator allows them and the firm signs them off.

Take an enquiry without receiving confidences too early

What we build: An enquiry form designed for a conflict check: the client's name, the names of the other parties and a one-line summary, then the practice area and preferred language. It tells people not to send confidential documents until the firm confirms it can act, and asks them to confirm that an enquiry does not create a lawyer and client relationship. Under Qatar's data law guidelines, consent to direct marketing has to be explicit and affirmative, and pre-ticked boxes may no longer count, so newsletter consent sits apart from the enquiry.

Help a client work out where their matter starts

What we build: A short matter triage: three questions on who the client is, what the matter concerns and how soon a date falls, answered in the browser with the lawyer who usually leads, what to prepare and a likely first step. The answer carries the matter type into the enquiry form. Every result ends with a line saying it is general information to help the client prepare, not a decision on their case.

Carry the details a regulated profession must publish

What we build: A footer and legal notices page that hold the firm's registration and professional details in one place. Qatar's e-commerce law (Decree-Law No. 16 of 2010) asks a provider to keep its name, address, email and register details easily accessible, and Article 52 adds, for a regulated profession, the professional body it is registered with, its professional title and the country that granted it, and how to reach the professional rules that apply.

Stay inside the Bar Council of India's limits

What we build: For an Indian practice, a site that keeps to what Rule 36 and its 2008 proviso allow: name, contact details, enrolment, qualifications and areas of practice, with no client lists, results or testimonials. The site also carries a disclaimer, and many Indian firms show it before the site opens, asking the visitor to confirm they are seeking information of their own accord; we build that as a light, accessible screen that remembers the answer.

Arabic that says the same thing as the English

What we build: An Arabic version drafted for Arabic readers, laid out right to left with its own addresses, and linked to the English with hreflang. Legal terms rarely carry over word for word, so the Arabic text is written by a native writer and checked by one of the firm's Arabic-speaking lawyers before launch, so that both versions make the same promises and carry the same disclaimers.

Set out fees and engagement before work begins

What we build: A fees and engagement page that explains how the firm charges, in words: fixed fees for defined work, hourly rates with stage estimates, or a monthly retainer, and what is paid at cost, such as court fees, translation and notarisation. It then walks through the steps from first message to engagement letter, so a client knows what will be agreed in writing.
