Example site for an entirely fictional business — not a real company.

Practice areas

Three areas.

Depth rather than breadth. We'll say plainly when a matter belongs with someone else.

Services

Employment law

From drafting to parting ways: we check contracts for enforceability, run terminations safely and negotiate severance agreements. Where a union contract applies we plan the bargaining side of a restructuring from the start — that usually saves months.

Commercial law

Framework agreements, terms of supply and standard terms that survive scrutiny. We quantify liability risk instead of hedging, and say which clause will hold in a dispute and which will not.

Corporate law

Formation, conversion, shareholdings and succession. In family businesses the hard questions are rarely legal ones — we help run those conversations and then put the result into a form that lasts.

How we work

  1. First conversation

    45 minutes in which you describe and we listen. At the end we say whether and how we can help.

  2. Assessment

    In writing, with prospects, risks and a cost range. You decide after that, not before.

  3. Engagement

    One named contact, hourly rate or fixed fee — your choice. With a fixed fee, the scope is in the agreement.

  4. Conclusion

    Outcome, invoice and, where useful, a note on how to avoid the same situation next time.

Common questions

What does the first consultation cost?

$190 for 45 minutes. If you retain us afterwards, we credit the fee in full.

Do you act for employees?

Not in employment law. We act for employers only — that avoids conflicts of interest and makes us sharper in the role.

Do you work on fixed fees?

Where the scope is foreseeable, yes: contract reviews, formations, ongoing advice. For litigation we bill under the statutory scale or hourly, whichever is better for you.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

First conversations usually within five working days. If a deadline is running, call us — we'll find half an hour the same day.

Demo site — firm and content are fictional

The project frame

How Awelior would approach this project

Whitfield & Partners is invented — the way it is built is not. None of this is work delivered for a client. It is the shape we would give such a project — with the same depth, but without a client who would have to answer for it.

Where it starts

Whitfield & Partners advise on employment, commercial and corporate law; engagements come from across the country and first contact almost always follows a search for a specific problem. A managing director facing a wrongful termination claim decides in two minutes whether to call — and decides it on whether this firm has handled his kind of case before.

Decisions

  • Practice areas before people

    The route runs from the area of law to the attorney, not the other way round. Someone with a problem is not looking for a name; they are looking for the right desk. So the team gets its own page, clearly visible but not as the entry point.

  • A quiet archetype, centred layout

    Centred headings, generous white space, no blocks of color. That is not taste but competence: the same structure dressed as a trade business would immediately contradict every claim about care and precision.

  • Initial consultation as a booking flow

    The contact page carries a four-step booking route — service, day, time, summary — instead of a phone number alone. Somebody landing here at ten at night with a dismissal letter in hand should be able to do something.

Deliberately left outNo success rates, no amounts in dispute, no named client logos. Professionally risky and substantively worthless — the logo strip therefore shows sectors rather than firms, and the key figures name fields of work rather than outcomes.

What is in it

Five pages, in all four languages. Navigation, the expandable questions and the full booking flow including its summary all respond — and the summary says outright that nothing was booked. Indicated only: directions and the sending of the contact form.

How it would go on

  • Appointments into the firm's calendar

    A connection to the calendar system with real consultation lengths, buffers and blocked periods — and a rule about which requests may be confirmed without a callback.

  • Client data and confidentiality

    A contact form at a law firm is a special case: what people write into it may already relate to a matter. That touches transport, mailbox, retention and the question of who inside the firm reads along.

  • News that is actually kept up

    The article list lives on new judgments. Without somebody writing monthly it becomes, within six months, the opposite of a trust signal.
