Hall Booth Smith β€”
Building a Legal Advisory Platform That Turns a National Firm Into One Searchable, Manageable System

A multi-office U.S. law firm's public-facing website and secure admin backend were built to organise nearly 400 lawyers, dozens of office locations, and city-by-city service availability into one platform clients and staff could actually navigate with confidence.

About ClientΒ 

Hall Booth Smith is a national law firm offering legal representation across healthcare, construction, and business, with a client base that spans multiple states and a lawyer roster that most law firm websites simply aren't built to organize. Before this platform, a client trying to find the right lawyer for a construction dispute in one city, or a healthcare regulatory matter in another, had no clean way to filter by practice area, location, or team.

The firm needed a website that did more than describe their services in general terms β€” it needed to surface the right lawyer, the right office, and the right strategic team, city by city, without the internal team manually updating a static page every time something changed. The platform also had to scale effortlessly as new lawyers, practice areas, and office locations were added over time.

Why Hall Booth Smith Chose Us

Hall Booth Smith

Law firm websites are a strange category to build for. Most agencies treat them as a brochure β€” a homepage, a services list, and a contact form β€” because that's what most firms actually need. Hall Booth Smith needed something closer to a directory platform: nearly 400 lawyer profiles, office locations across the U.S., strategic teams organised by industry, and a live map of which lawyers were active in which city, all of it manageable from a secure backend without a developer being looped in for every content change.

That requirement ruled out template-based legal website builders early. A generic CMS could hold static pages, but it couldn't cleanly support city-level service enablement or a searchable professional directory at that scale without becoming unwieldy for the internal team to maintain.

Challenges That Shaped the Build

01 06

Building a Legal or Professional Services Platform?

Directory-based platforms with hundreds of professionals need structural discipline, not just a page for every person β€” city-level accuracy and real admin control are what make them usable at scale.

Our Approach

A Secure Admin Panel Built for Non-Technical Control

A Secure Admin Panel Built for Non-Technical Control

Every part of this platform that needed to change regularly β€” lawyer profiles, office locations, city-level service availability, active firm status β€” was built to be editable directly from a secure Laravel-based admin panel, without requiring a developer for routine updates. Only authorized personnel could access these controls, which mattered given the sensitivity of legal directory and firm data. The panel was designed around how the firm's internal team actually needed to work day to day, not around a generic content management interface repurposed for legal use, improving operational efficiency across all offices.

A Directory That Scales Past 400 Professionals 02

A Directory That Scales Past 400 Professionals

Rather than building a flat list of lawyer profiles, we structured the directory around consistent, filterable fieldsβ€”practice area, location, and team affiliationβ€”so a directory approaching 400 professionals stayed navigable rather than overwhelming. Each profile followed the same format, which made both browsing and backend management predictable. This structure also made it easy to add new lawyers without disrupting the overall organization of the directory while maintaining consistency across every profile.

City-Level Service and Location Management 03

City-Level Service and Location Management

We built the ability to enable or adjust which services and lawyers were active in which city directly into the admin experience, reflecting how a firm with dozens of offices actually operates. This included the live map and list showing active lawyers by current location, giving both clients and internal staff an accurate, real-time picture rather than a static regional page. Updates appeared instantly across the website without requiring any manual page changes, keeping location data consistently accurate everywhere.

Content Infrastructure for Blogs, Insights, and Strategic Teams

Content Infrastructure for Blogs, Insights, and Strategic Teams

Beyond the directory itself, the platform needed to support ongoing content β€” legal insights and blog articles the firm could publish to stay visible and informative β€” alongside dedicated pages for its industry-focused strategic teams. We built both as manageable content types within the same admin system, linked where relevant to individual lawyer profiles and practice areas, so a client reading an industry-specific article could move directly toward the team or lawyer behind it, keeping the site's informational and directory functions connected rather than operating as two separate, disjointed sections.

Process We Followed

01 Discovery and Directory Architecture Discovery and Directory Architecture
Discovery and Directory Architecture

Discovery and Directory Architecture

Given the tight two-month window, we mapped how lawyer profiles, office locations, and strategic teams needed to relate to each other structurally before any page design began, since getting the data architecture right upfront was the difference between a directory that scaled cleanly and one needing costly rework later.

  • Directory field mapping β€” practice area, location, team affiliation
  • City-level service model definition for admin control
  • Admin permission structure and access levels
  • Content architecture for blogs, insights, and strategic teams
02  Website and Admin Panel Development  Website and Admin Panel Development
Website and Admin Panel Development

Website and Admin Panel Development

The public-facing website and secure admin panel were developed in parallel against the data structure defined during discovery. Both surfaces were built to stay in sync from the start β€” a lawyer profile or service update entered in the admin panel needed to reflect on the live site immediately, without a separate deployment step, keeping information accurate across every user interaction.

  • Lawyer directory, office locations, and strategic team pages built
  • Secure Laravel admin panel with role-based access controls
  • City-level service and live map functionality integrated
  • Blog and insights content system connected to lawyer profiles
03 QA, content population, and Launch QA, content population, and Launch
QA, content population, and Launch

QA, content population, and Launch

Testing focused specifically on directory search accuracy across a near-400-profile dataset, city-level service toggling behavior, and admin permission boundaries, confirming that backend changes reflected correctly and instantly on the public site before go-live.

  • Directory search and filter accuracy testing at scale
  • City-level service toggling and live map verification
  • Admin permission boundary testing across authorized roles
  • Content population run in parallel with final QA for launch
