The Diagnostic Challenge
Outdated legacy website failed to convey partner track record, causing prospective corporate clients to bounce to competing firms and creating significant friction for retainer inquiries.
Bottleneck #1
Generic corporate styling with dense, unformatted text blocks that failed to highlight partner wins.
Bottleneck #2
Bounce rate exceeding 68% among institutional corporate buyers and venture investors on mobile devices.
Bottleneck #3
No structured legal schema or attorney entity data, suppressing search visibility for high-intent business litigation queries.
