This case study documents decisions and deliverables that can be verified in the published screens and materials.
Entry Authority without noise.

The home page neither shouts nor overpromises: photography, wordmark, editorial tone and a sentence position the firm around judgement rather than urgency.

Brand Brand book applied to the website.

Typography, colour, texture, photography, verbal tone and principles work together. The identity does not live in a PDF; it is present in every section.

Conversion Measured, qualified contact.

For a sensitive employment matter, the goal is not to force clicks. It is to structure trust, context and channels so the enquiry arrives better prepared.

First impression

A firm understood before reading.

The first screen establishes the territory: employment law firm, Barcelona, a focus on dismissals and nationwide coverage. The image is not decoration, but evidence of tone: restraint, materiality, quiet and precision.

  • Photographic hero with a real presence
  • Clear promise: employment law with judgement
  • CTA to practice areas and contact without pressure
  • Brand visible from the first second

The hero acts as positioning: it does not sell volume; it sells judgement, discretion and professional presence.
Positioning

The message clarifies who the firm works for.

The firm section explains the types of matters and clients: companies, executives, employees and coverage across Spain. It avoids a cold legal catalogue and presents a practice with method, discretion and a practical reading of context.

  • Visible audiences: company, executive and employee
  • Focused employment-law specialisation
  • Direct client communication
  • Nationwide coverage from Barcelona

The website does not begin with an endless service list. It first explains the professional judgement and whom the firm supports.
Brand system

The brand book becomes atmosphere.

The brand work appears in specific decisions: an elegant serif, warm black, ivory, aged gold, textured photography and a carefully measured editorial rhythm. Everything speaks of method before motion.

  • Restrained palette: black, ivory and gold
  • Photography aligned with the identity
  • Typography with quiet authority
  • Legal copy without commercial aggression

The complete identity is especially visible here: it is not only a logo, but a way of seeing and presenting the firm.
Brand principles

Values turned into visual structure.

Clarity, precision, discretion and trust are not left as isolated words. They become four clean, numbered, scannable blocks. It is a brand section and a commercial section: it reduces uncertainty.

  • Four memorable values
  • Restrained editorial grid
  • Language appropriate for the legal sector
  • Brand applied to real content

The brand book reaches the page: values, tone, composition and hierarchy working as one system.
Practice areas

Legal services with strategy.

The practice-area block avoids looking like a generic list. It places dismissals and terminations at the centre, then opens other employment matters through accordions: quick reading first, depth afterwards.

  • Specialisation in employment dismissals
  • Accordions to avoid overload
  • Useful legal SEO keywords
  • Strategic language, not formulas

A person arriving with a sensitive matter finds specialisation and order before finding a form.
Legal content

Editorial authority for sensitive searches.

The articles create entry points from Google and real questions: disciplinary dismissal, objective dismissal, unfair dismissal, null dismissal, compensation, final settlement and restructuring. They are not decoration; they support the firm's authority.

  • Articles by search intent
  • Sensitive employment topics
  • Concise reading oriented towards decisions
  • Editorial SEO aligned with the brand

The editorial section turns legal questions into structured entry points without breaking the firm's premium tone.
Qualified contact

A direct close, but discreet.

The close offers telephone, email and a form while maintaining the firm's measured tone. For a dismissal, termination or negotiation, the right conversion is not impulsive: it is an enquiry with context.

  • Visible telephone and email
  • A restrained, legally considered form
  • Privacy integrated into the interaction
  • Final message encouraging review before action

The final screen does not change personality to sell. It closes as it begins: precise, serious and easy to use.

A legal website where brand, content and conversion move in the same direction: trust before contact.
