Overview

Pemberton & Co. works on disputes where the stakes are public. The site had to earn trust in the first ten seconds.

Serif type, deep green and an unhurried pace replaced the usual handshake imagery. Every page answers a question a client actually asks.

The story

The challenge

For a firm like this, credibility is the product. Most law-firm sites try to prove it with stock photographs and long lists of practice areas.

Pemberton & Co. needed the opposite: a site that reads like a serious firm and lets a general counsel find the right expert in two clicks.

What we did

The homepage builds trust step by step: a video hero with one clear line, results in numbers with their sources, a client testimonial, then the people.

Each of the twelve experts has a full profile. Matters are shown with client labels and practice tags. Coverage is laid out by region and jurisdiction.

The palette is deep green on warm paper, set in an editorial serif. Nothing moves faster than it needs to.

Where it stands

A fourteen-page site with the legal pages firms are required to publish, and separate general, media and careers contacts so enquiries reach the right person.

What the site includes

Artifacts

Besides the pages, each project leaves tools and systems the client keeps using. These are the ones we made here.

    Profile system

    Expert profiles

    One profile template for every expert: biography, credentials, practice areas and the matters they worked on, linked both ways.

  • Pemberton & Co.: Selected matters

    Content model

    Selected matters

    A structured record for each matter, with client label, practice tags and outcome, that feeds the homepage, the list and the case pages.

    Editorial

    Insights layout

    A reading layout for long articles with categories, dates and a quiet sidebar, made for partners who publish.
