STUDIO 1

Website for a law firm

Clients trust a lawyer with serious matters and check you online before a meeting. A representative site that shows competence and practice areas is as important in B2B as the first meeting.

What a law firm website needs

Why it matters

When choosing a lawyer, a client weighs competence and trust. A dated or sloppy site raises doubt. A solid multilingual site shows you are professional down to the details.

How people in Estonia look for a lawyer

People search by problem, not by firm name: 'terminate employment contract Estonia', 'debt collection', 'selling shares in an OÜ', 'divorce and division of property'. A private client wants to know quickly whether you handle their matter and what a first consultation costs. A business client usually arrives by referral and then checks a specific lawyer on the site: education, experience, languages.

Foreign investors and e-residents read only the English version and have often never been to your office. For them the English pages are the firm, so they need the same depth as the Estonian ones.

Page structure for a law firm

Each practice area gets its own page written from the client's question: when to get in touch, how the work proceeds, what the fee is based on. Lawyer profiles are the most read part of a firm's site, so we make them thorough: areas of work, education, membership of the Estonian Bar Association, languages and a direct contact. Articles on law changes and typical situations bring in searchers who do not yet know the firm's name.

What weakens a law firm site

Practice pages that list statutes instead of answering the client's situation. Team photos taken years apart in different styles, which makes a firm look assembled at random. No named contact per practice area, so an inquiry goes to a general address and waits. And an English version cut down to one page while the Estonian site has twenty.

Inquiries, confidentiality and preparation

The contact form asks only for a name, contact details and a short description, with a note that confidential documents should not be sent through it. A consultation slot can be picked from a calendar, and a paid first consultation can take card prepayment, which suits clients abroad. Inquiries arrive in the firm's mailbox or your CRM.

What to prepare

  • A list of practice areas in order of priority
  • Lawyer CVs and portraits in one consistent style
  • Fee principles: hourly rate, fixed fee, first consultation
  • 2-3 topics for the first articles

Frequently asked

Do we need a multilingual site?+

In Estonia often yes. ET, RU and EN cover most clients, including international companies and e-residents.

Do we need a blog?+

In B2B it helps. Articles on legal topics bring organic traffic and demonstrate your expertise.

How long does a law firm site take?+

Usually 2-3 weeks. The biggest time factor is gathering copy and team information.

Should fees be published?+

An exact price list is not needed, but fee principles and the cost of a first consultation are worth stating. A private client who cannot estimate the cost often does not get in touch at all.

Who writes the articles?+

The substance has to come from a lawyer, since legal accuracy is your responsibility. We help pick topics from search queries, edit the text for readability and format it so Google can find it.
