Using hyphens in domain names is always a gamble - if you don't own the un-hyphenated version of your domain, your visitors could just as easily end up somewhere else. In the case of Curtis Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle, the domain cmp.com (which they don't own) points to CMP Media, the publisher of Windows magazines and other technology trade publications. Will users automatically remember that there's a hyphen in your domain? As with anything in marketing, the goal is to find something memorable and unique. In the case of domains that differ by just a hyphen, you may find you're not as unique as you should be. Visitors to cm-p.com, on the other hand, will want to make sure that they visit with graphics turned on: otherwise you won't see a thing. At the very least, images should be labeled (using the alt tag in HTML) so that viewers with images turned off (or visitors who are vision-impaired and rely on text-to-speech programs to "browse" for them) can at least find out what's going on. Recent articles suggest that web sites may be covered under the ADA - which means that sites like this will have to get cleaned up. There are a dozen or so good articles here ("Publications" has its own section), but the biggest complaint we have is a serious oversight: click on "Members" (which would ostensibly take you to a firm directory), and instead you get a broken link: the link points to a page at martindale.com (Martindale-Hubbell's online directory) that doesn't exist. The webmaster should be more attentive. Fortunately, contact info is available under both "Offices" and "Recruiting", so interested parties will be able to get in touch with the law firm, missing directory notwithstanding.
