Websites for law firms
Your law firm website accounts for professional-conduct law — not the attorney, after the fact.
Whoever gets your firm recommended, or searches for a practice area, checks your website next. We make sure trust builds there, the mandatory disclosures are correct, and getting in touch is easy.
Hosting in Germany, one fixed point of contact, usually live in 14 days. Fast, locally findable and worded soberly per § 43b BRAO, BORA and DL-InfoV — not as an afterthought, but as part of how the site is built.

The problem
Most law firm websites lose the first conversation before it starts.
Clients come through referrals — but whoever is referred googles the firm before calling. That’s exactly the moment the website decides whether the warm tip turns into an appointment.
A dated business card.
Five to eight years old, sluggish on mobile, no clear assignment of practice areas. Especially after a referral, it comes across as less assured than the advice behind it.
You’re feeding someone else’s portal.
Legal tips on anwalt.de & co. strengthen the portal’s visibility on Google, not your firm’s. A client who comes via the portal stays a portal contact — and the portal can change price, profile and reach at any time.
Professional-conduct rules & legal notice left open.
“Specialist”, “best firm in town”, success rates — a generic web designer writes that without § 43b BRAO in mind. A missing DL-InfoV disclosure (professional-liability insurer with territorial scope, competent bar association) is grounds for a competitor’s cease-and-desist. The complaint lands on you.
Does your site confirm the referral — or does it cool the already-warm conversation back down?
We don’t provide legal advice — but we build to the rules and know the pitfalls.
Compliant · locally findable · fixed price
Three things at once — each one provable.
Get found where clients search
Legal search is urgent and regional — “family law specialist munich”, not “law firm”.
A dedicated, location-specific page per practice area instead of a catch-all “services” page, a clean Google profile and structured firm data — the foundation to appear locally and in AI search as a reliable legal source, while many firms are still missing there.
Your local ranking for “family law + munich” sits in the cockpit — as a number that moves, not a claim.
AI recommendations are new and unpredictable. We don’t promise a spot in the AI answer — we build the groundwork and make the result measurable.
Professional-conduct rules are standard build, not an afterthought
§ 43b BRAO and §§ 6–10 BORA shape what’s allowed on the site. We build to them from day one.
Sober self-presentation without impermissible superlatives or success-rate claims, and the complete DL-InfoV disclosures (professional-liability insurer, competent bar association) — exactly the gap generic agencies leave open.
In the website check you get a concrete disclosure check of your existing site — not a blanket verdict, but specific points on your page.
We don’t provide legal advice. Final legal responsibility for content stays with the firm — on request, in coordination with your bar association.
Fixed price and a lasting asset
Predictable monthly cost instead of a large one-off bill and open-ended hours. The code belongs to your firm.
Migration and maintenance run through us — not through firm staff with a neglected WordPress — the code belongs to your firm, no lock-in. In the cockpit you see visitors, local ranking and first contacts every month, with no effort on your part.
Every number in the cockpit comes from your real data — visitors, local ranking, first contacts. No estimate, no sales pressure, just transparency.
The fixed price covers build, hosting and ongoing maintenance — not every conceivable custom development. What falls outside that, we say clearly upfront rather than billing it quietly.
Free · no obligation
Already have a law firm website? Get the check.
A firm-specific look at your existing site: load time, local findability and the DL-InfoV disclosures — concrete points, not an automated report.
Ongoing proof
Client transparency in the cockpit — not a promise, but numbers.
Most agencies build a site and disappear. We flip that around: every firm gets a cockpit and a monthly report — the real figures, no polished vanity numbers. Sober, precise, without success-rate claims.
Sample view with anonymised data. Deliberately no made-up figures or #1-ranking promises — that would be legally risky.
Fixed price · published
Transparent pricing. Published, not “on request”.
You see what it costs before you even talk to us. The Pro plan fits most solo and small firms.

Quick estimate
What would your website cost?
Reference
One firm. Verifiable promises.
“Finally a website I understand — and one that actually brings in enquiries. The Monday email is my favorite moment of the week.”
It runs on exactly the setup your firm gets — hosted in Germany, built accessibly, fast. No mockup: test the tech and speed yourself.
A report from your cockpit every month — real views, real client enquiries. Sober, without polished vanity numbers.
“Yes, but…”
What law firms ask us at this point.
My clients come through referrals — do I even need this?
The referral brings the contact, the website confirms it. In a trust profession, the person referred looks you up before calling. A sluggish or dated site can cool down an already-warm first conversation. The website doesn’t replace the referral — it makes sure the referral holds up.
Do web agencies build law firm websites that comply with professional-conduct rules?
Generic agencies usually cover GDPR and design only, and leave attorney advertising law to the firm. mcmedia builds to § 43b BRAO and BORA (Germany’s attorney advertising and professional-conduct rules): no impermissible superlatives, no success-rate claims, complete disclosures per DL-InfoV (Germany’s service-information regulation). This isn’t legal advice, but the typical pitfalls are accounted for.
Is anwalt.de worth it, or a firm’s own website?
Portals build their own domain authority, not the firm’s. Entry currently runs around 79.90 euros per month net for existing customers and 149.90 euros for new customers. Your own website belongs to the firm and stays yours after any cancellation. The portal makes sense as an addition, not a replacement.
Does a law firm website have to be accessible under the BFSG?
For a pure information or business-card website, the duty is disputed, and micro-businesses with under 10 staff and at most 2 million euros annual turnover are exempt. Accessible tech is a mark of quality, not a blanket requirement for every law firm website.
I don’t have time to deal with content and technology.
You don’t have to. We gather the content in one short call, take over migrating your existing site, and manage technology, security and updates on an ongoing basis. Usually you’re live in 14 days. You can maintain legal tips yourself from the Pro plan up — if you want to, not because you have to.
No obligation · no sales pressure
Start with the website check.
We take a look at your existing law firm website and send you a short, sober check: how fast it loads, how local findability stands, and whether the disclosures are complete. This is a non-binding note, not legal advice — but often the fastest way to see what your site is currently leaving on the table.
No obligation · no cold-mail list · hosting in Germany
