Bunood Legal Law firm website design for Doha, a concept build
Bunood Legal is a made-up commercial and private-client firm set in West Bay, Doha, built in English and in Arabic to show what a law firm website for Qatar can do. It speaks to companies and employers, families and individuals, and investors arriving from abroad, most of whom want to know where their matter will be heard and what to prepare before they get in touch. Its lawyers are invented and the page offers no legal advice, but the matter triage, the forum guide, the first-meeting checklist and the switch between languages all respond in the browser.
A concept build: Bunood Legal is a fictional brand we created to show how we design and build a law firm website for Doha. It is not a client and not a real company; our client work is on the work page.
The complete homepage, live
Both frames run the real site. Scroll inside them, try the matter triage: three questions give the lead lawyer, what to prepare, a likely first step and an example slot counted in working days, with a button that fills the matter type in the enquiry form, or open it in a new tab (Arabic version).
How we designed a law firm website for Doha
Set like a statute book
A law firm sells precision, so the page is laid out the way a well-set statute book is. Practice areas are numbered articles with large EB Garamond numerals in the margin, side notes sit in a right-hand column, and the forum explainer carries footnotes that link to dated official sources. The colours are graphite green, paper and sandstone in flat blocks, with no gradients or effects.
Three answers, one starting point
Most people who contact a lawyer in Doha first want to know who would handle the matter and what to bring. A three-question triage asks who you are, what the matter is about and how soon there is a date, then shows the lead lawyer, a document list, a likely first step and an example slot counted in Sunday to Thursday working days. One button carries the matter type into the enquiry form.
Which forum hears it
Qatar has national courts that work in Arabic, the QFC court where proceedings are usually in English, and arbitration by agreement, and a client's first question is often which one applies. A neutral guide asks whether the company is mainland, QFC or free zone, what the contract says about disputes and whether it is an employment matter, then gives a short general note. It is labelled as information to help you prepare, not a decision on your case.
Arabic in its own right
The Arabic page is its own piece of writing, not a word-for-word copy of the English. It mirrors the whole layout right to left, sets the type in Noto Naskh Arabic, numbers articles and dates in Arabic-Indic digits, and a link under the triage result opens the same answers in Arabic. Where a real firm would list licences and qualifications, both pages show plainly marked empty slots instead.

Questions
What should a law firm website in Doha include?
Clear practice areas with what each one usually involves, the people a client will work with and the languages they speak, and how fees are set, even when no figures are shown. Add a plain note that the site is general information and not legal advice, and say how an enquiry turns into an engagement letter. Office hours for the Sunday to Thursday week, the address and parking details help clients who visit in person.
Should a law firm in Qatar have its website in Arabic as well as English?
For most firms in Doha, yes. The national courts work in Arabic and many clients would rather read about their matter in Arabic, while QFC work and many international clients run in English. Legal terms rarely carry over word for word, so the Arabic page should be drafted for Arabic readers, laid out right to left and checked by a lawyer, so that both versions make the same promises.
How should a law firm's enquiry form handle confidentiality?
Ask only for what the conflict check needs at first: the client's name, the names of the other parties and a one-line summary. Say plainly that an enquiry does not create a lawyer and client relationship and ask the client to confirm it. Tell people not to send confidential documents until the firm confirms it can act, and say who will reply and when.
