Law firm website design in Singapore
Websites for law firms with practice area pages, lawyer profiles, enquiry forms built for conflict checks and document exchange by matter.
A typical workflow
- Enquirer gives the parties and matter type
- Firm runs its conflict check
- Consultation booked with the right lawyer
- Engaged client shares documents by matter
What this sector needs
In Singapore, any claim to expertise or specialisation in a firm's publicity must be justifiable under rule 43 of the Professional Conduct Rules 2015. Practice area pages describe the work the firm does, and words such as 'leading' or 'specialist' appear only where the firm can support them.
Source: Legal Profession (Professional Conduct) Rules 2015, rules 42–44Publicity may not mention success rates, may not refer to past clients or cases where that would breach confidentiality, and may not compare or criticise other firms' fees or service quality. We don't build win-rate counters, case-result tickers or fee comparison tables for law firms.
Source: Legal Profession (Professional Conduct) Rules 2015, rules 42 to 44Publicity is treated as misleading if it is likely to create an unjustified expectation about results or leaves out a material fact. Lawyer profiles and FAQ answers avoid outcome promises, such as saying costs will be recovered. The lawyers remain responsible for the firm's publicity, including anything Ceus publishes on their behalf, so the firm approves every page.

Submissions go to a restricted inbox or system, not a shared mailbox.
Lawyer profiles follow one structure: year of admission, practice areas, languages and how to reach them. A named person at the firm updates or removes a profile when someone joins or leaves.
A client portal limits each client to their own matters, records who uploaded or downloaded each file, and keeps files in storage the firm controls.
Which existing tools can it connect to?
- Outlook or Google Calendar for consultations
- SharePoint, Google Drive or the firm's document store
- Practice management software, where it offers an API
- E-signature for engagement letters
What needs a separate scope?
A client portal with document exchange by matter, a link to practice management software or content in several languages needs more scoping and a security review.
Can we list notable cases on the website?
Only where doing so doesn't breach a duty of confidentiality to a client or former client, and never as a success rate. The firm decides what is listed and how it is worded; we build the page.
Who is responsible if a page breaks the publicity rules?
The lawyers are. Under rule 42, a legal practitioner must make sure publicity complies with the rules even when someone else produces it. We flag wording that may need a second look, but we don't give legal advice on it.
Our firm practises in Indonesia. Do these rules apply?
The rules quoted on this page are Singapore's. Indonesian advocates follow their own professional code, so tell us which rules bind your firm; your firm decides what its website may say, and we build what it approves.
