01 · the challenge

Kaplan & Stratton is one of Kenya’s premier law firms, advising corporates, institutions and governments for generations. In professional services, the website is the due-diligence stop: general counsel, international referral firms and prospective clients all check it before the first meeting. The firm’s digital presence had to communicate its practice depth, its people and its standing — with the restraint and authority the legal profession demands.

02 · the approach
needs analysis first Partners, practice groups and business development heard before design began — the site architected around how the firm wins work.
practice-led information architecture Practice areas, sector expertise and lawyer profiles structured the way clients and referral firms actually search for counsel.
design with restraint A visual language that carries a century of standing — typographic authority, disciplined imagery, nothing that dates.
cms & editorial independence Legal updates, deal announcements and lawyer profiles publishable by the firm’s own team — no agency bottleneck for a business built on timely counsel.
