Website Design for Employment Lawyers From Wage-Hour to Wrongful Termination
Employment-law firms serve plaintiffs, employers, or both — and the design language they need for each is completely different. We design firm-scale employment websites with plaintiff/defense practice separation, class-action intake detection at the form level, state-specific wage-hour nuance, EEOC + administrative-practice silos, and executive-severance UX for high-net-worth plaintiffs.

The Problems We Fix
Plaintiff-side and defense-side practices split your brand on one site
Your firm represents employee plaintiffs in some matters and corporate employers in others. On a single undifferentiated site, neither audience trusts you. Employee plaintiffs question your commitment when the site's photos and language signal corporate defense; corporate clients question your credibility when plaintiff-side language dominates. Without architectural separation, both audiences leak.
Class-action signals walk out the front door as individual intakes
A prospect Googling 'I didn't get paid overtime' or 'everyone at my job was misclassified' is a class-action signal. Your intake form treats them as an individual wrongful-termination claim and routes them to the individual-practice attorney. The class-certification conversation never happens, the policy-level claim walks away, and the eight-figure case is gone.
High-net-worth executive-severance prospects see the same page as the hourly wrongful-termination prospect
A $400k/year VP reviewing a separation package and an hourly worker fired for FMLA retaliation are both valid plaintiffs — but they need completely different caliber of design, different trust signals, and different intake flow. Executive-severance prospects bounce off aggressive plaintiff-firm marketing; hourly prospects bounce off white-shoe corporate-law design. Without tiered content, the firm loses both ends.
Plaintiff/Defense Architectural Separation
Plaintiff-side content (wage-hour, wrongful-termination, harassment, retaliation, whistleblower) lives in a silo with plaintiff-appropriate tone, plaintiff-attorney bio attribution, employee-focused trust signals, and contingency-fee language. Defense-side content (EEOC response, policy drafting, HR audits, internal investigations) lives in a separate silo with defense-appropriate tone, defense-attorney bio attribution, corporate-client trust signals, and hourly/flat-fee structure. Same firm, two architecturally distinct practices.
- Separate plaintiff-side and defense-side navigation + content trees
- Different attorney bios per practice side (with cross-links where appropriate)
- Different trust signals (National Employment Lawyers Association vs. corporate client logos)
- Different intake flows + fee-structure language per practice side
Class-Action Intake Detection
Intake forms ask the questions that surface class-action signals — 'did this affect everyone in your department,' 'was it company policy,' 'do other employees have the same complaint.' Prospects hitting class-certification thresholds get routed to class-action attorneys with appropriate call-back priority. The collective-action and Rule-23-class conversation happens at intake, not after the individual-case retention has already locked the prospect into the wrong fee structure.
- Class-detection intake fields (scope, policy-level, multiple-plaintiff signals)
- Automated routing to class-action attorneys when thresholds hit
- Educational content on collective actions (FLSA §216(b)) and Rule 23 classes
- Commonality and numerosity content surfaced in related silos
Claim-Type + Jurisdiction Silo Architecture
Wage-hour, wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, whistleblower, non-compete, and FMLA each get dedicated content silos with state-specific statutory overlays. California wage-hour content (FEHA, PAGA, daily OT) is completely separate from Texas FLSA-only content. EEOC + state-agency administrative practice gets its own silo with procedural content (charge-filing timelines, right-to-sue letters, administrative exhaustion).
Executive-Severance + HNW Plaintiff UX
A distinct design tier for high-net-worth individual plaintiffs (executive-severance review, equity-compensation disputes, C-suite non-compete matters). Advisor-appropriate tone, discrete consultation flow, peer-referral content (financial advisors, tax counsel), and pricing transparency for review-level engagements. Sits architecturally alongside the volume plaintiff practice without diluting either.

Real results for a real law firm
You're invisible for the legal searches that matter
We audited an Orlando personal injury firm last month. Their site was barely ranking for the high-intent searches their clients actually type — missing schema, weak title tags, broken internal linking, and content gaps on 8 practice-area pages. After we fixed it, their ranked-keyword footprint exploded — and organic traffic followed.
Zero ad spend behind this growth — pure organic search, directly attributable to the audit fixes.
