The problem
The old EK Lawyers site was old in the way that actually costs a law firm business: it didn’t reflect the practice as it exists today, it gave search engines nothing structured to work with, and there was no secure channel for a client to exchange documents once they were mid-matter — everything ran over email. For an insolvency and business law practice, that’s not a cosmetic problem.
What we built
A full rebuild of the public site — home, services by practice area, about, team, insights, results, and contact — alongside legal boilerplate that actually needed a proper pass (privacy, terms, disclaimer). But the site was the smaller half of the job.
The bigger piece is a secure client portal that sits behind it: JWT authentication with MFA, role-based access control, encrypted document storage, ClamAV malware scanning on every file a client uploads, and a full audit log. That’s not a brochure feature — it’s a piece of software a firm’s clients actually log into and rely on while a matter is live.
SEO/GEO, built in from day one
Every page shipped with real metadata and OG images, a proper sitemap.xml and robots.txt, and an llms.txt so AI assistants can read the firm’s services cleanly rather than guessing. Structured data covers both LegalService and FAQPage schema — the goal is that when someone asks Google, or asks ChatGPT or Perplexity, “who handles insolvency in Sydney,” EK Lawyers shows up with the right answer already attached.
Where we are
The rebuild is complete and about to go live, replacing the old site outright.
