The challenge

What the client needed

Marlowe Finch advises founders, studios and independent publishers. Its old website listed twelve practice areas in legal language and had a contact form that sent three tiny words to a shared inbox.

The partners wanted to look established without looking like every other firm in the city.

  • Replace legal jargon with plain, specific language.

  • Help the right clients self-select and write a useful first message.

  • Keep the site easy for the partners to edit.

The approach

How we went about it

We rewrote the site with the partners over six short sessions: every page starts with the decision a client is facing, not the area of law. The identity is a confident serif wordmark, a single deep red and a lot of white space.

The enquiry form asks four questions that a lawyer would ask first, and routes each one to the right partner.

  • Brand: wordmark, colour, type, stationery, email signature.

  • Website: 14 pages, a plain-English guide, enquiry routing.

  • Training: a two hour session so the partners can publish themselves.
