| Crisp, clean graphics, logical site structure elements, and a local search engine appear on the home page. This site is clearly the work of professionals, which is exactly the image a firm of professionals wishes to project to the world. Their intellectual property group takes the logical (but rare) step of asking and answering the question "What is intellectual property?" This indicated that the site has been designed for novices and experts alike. Unfortunately, important presentation elements - the titles of each Web page - have been ignored. Bookmark these files and you'll not easily know where they came from (unlike Yahoo, for example). Attorney profiles include links to the full text of legal documents from selected cases. Their "Internet guide" is no FindLaw, but that's par for the course. The navigation bar appears on every page, but from the "clients" page, the link to "software protection" (a separate Web site about international software protection) resulted in an error. Practice areas include intellectual property, corporate, litigation, and tax law. Many publications are online, but little effort has been made to present them in a logical manner. |
