Vinson & Elkins required a centralized platform to consolidate and showcase its extensive legal expertise, catering both to internal teams and client-facing users. The objective was to launch a legal knowledge hub that made critical insights easily accessible, fully searchable, and consistent with the firm’s brand identity.
The project followed a phased delivery approach beginning with discovery and requirements gathering, moving through UX/UI wireframing, and concluding with full platform deployment, all completed within 100 days. The design process involved three iterations of style cards to refine the visual language. Sitemap structure and content logic were developed with a focus on clarity, intuitive navigation, and optimized user flow.
The resulting design system established a clean and scalable information architecture, reflecting the firm’s established visual standards and enhancing brand coherence. Attention to detail ensured that content organization facilitated quick access to complex legal materials, enabling users to find relevant knowledge efficiently.
Post-launch quality assurance encompassed technical integrations, accessibility compliance checks, and performance optimizations to deliver a seamless user experience across devices and browsers. These efforts supported both knowledge delivery and internal governance functions.
The outcome was a search-optimized, user-friendly legal content system that supports ongoing knowledge sharing and operational efficiency. This platform empowers Vinson & Elkins’ teams to leverage collective expertise while providing clients with reliable, timely access to thought leadership and critical legal insights.
This scalable knowledge hub stands as a strategic asset, enabling the firm to maintain leadership in a competitive legal market through superior content management and user experience.
