A law firm site that says what it does not take.

Practice-area pages that name the matters the firm takes and the jurisdictions it takes them in, signed by the partner who takes them. Under them, an intake that asks four things rather than the whole case, and routing to a named person with a stated response time.

Six ways a firm spends partner time on the wrong matter, and what we build for each.

Each one is a problem we hear from this trade, in plain words, and what a SharpHaw subscription puts in its place.

  1. A man at his kitchen table at night with a contract in front of him and its last page turned up, scrolling a law firm's about page, a calendar behind him with one day ringed

    01 · The problem

    The site describes the firm, never the problem a client has.

    A person with a contract ending in three weeks reads about your values and your history.

    What we build

    Pages (opens the workspace in a new tab)

    A landing page for each problem and each kind of client, with its own path to the right lawyer.

  2. A young lawyer on the phone at his desk with a hand pressed to his forehead, a notepad beside him where the same question has been written and crossed out four times

    02 · The problem

    The practice page never says which matters you take, or where.

    So people ask, and every one of those enquiries costs somebody's time to answer.

    What we build

    Pages (opens the workspace in a new tab)

    A page per matter that says the jurisdictions you cover, what you do not take, and who signs the work.

  3. A nine-page printed enquiry on a partner's desk under a green lamp, long passages in yellow highlighter and one paragraph struck through, her reading glasses set down on it

    03 · The problem

    The enquiry form is one box: describe your legal problem.

    It arrives as nine hundred words with no jurisdiction, no date, and confidential detail nobody asked for.

    What we build

    Forms (opens the workspace in a new tab)

    Four questions: the type of matter, where the parties are, the date that matters, and how to reach them. Nothing else.

  4. A man at his kitchen counter on a Sunday night with a laptop open on a firm's contact page and its office hours, his phone face down beside it and the dishes done

    04 · The problem

    A question on a Sunday night waits for Monday.

    How does a first meeting work, what does it cost, what should I bring. By Monday they have called someone else.

    What we build

    Support (opens the workspace in a new tab)

    A support chat answers those questions day and night from the firm's own knowledge. It never gives advice, and it says so.

  5. A partner at her desk first thing with her coat still on, reading a long printed email, the coffee beside her untouched and the associates blurred beyond the glass wall

    05 · The problem

    Enquiries land in a shared inbox and get read at nine by whoever is free.

    Urgent matters wait behind routine ones, and a partner reads to find out what they are reading.

    What we build

    Customers (opens the workspace in a new tab)

    Each enquiry goes on arrival to the named person who handles that work, with a stated response time. Whether to act stays with the firm.

  6. A partner's whiteboard covered in client names and arrows with sticky notes crowding the edges and one entry ringed twice, a lever-arch file open on the desk below

    06 · The problem

    There is no overview of where each client is, and someone always slips.

    Conflicts, engagement letters, deadlines, replies: spread across inboxes and memories.

    What we build

    Boards (opens the workspace in a new tab)

    Every client's step in the process on one board, so nobody is missed and nothing waits on someone remembering.

Straight answers, before the call

Who writes the practice-area pages?
We do, from an interview with the partner who takes that work, and then that partner approves the wording line by line before it is published. Nothing goes live under a lawyer's name that the lawyer has not read. The board shows the state of every page, so a firm can see what is drafted, what is waiting on them and what is live.
Is a four-question intake really enough?
It is enough to decide fit, which is the only decision the form is for. Matter type, jurisdiction, the date that matters and how to reach someone tell a firm whether it can act and how urgently. Everything else is better asked by a person once the firm has run its checks, and asking for it earlier moves confidential detail into a marketing system for no gain.
Will this get us to the top of Google?
No one can promise a position, and a page that ranks for a query the firm cannot act on is worth nothing. What the cluster targets is the narrow searches that describe a matter you take, in a country you cover, which is where the traffic is smaller and the fit is far higher. The monthly audit reports what each page is found for.
What happens to enquiries we cannot take?
They stop earlier, which is the point. A page that states the shapes the firm does not take, and a form that asks for jurisdiction, means most of them never become an enquiry at all. The ones that still arrive can be answered with a short referral note rather than an hour of reading, and the firm decides what that note says.
What does it cost?
One fixed monthly fee with no discovery fee, no setup invoice and no minimum term, and the SharpOS workspace included rather than billed separately. Everything on this page is in Starter, the plan published above and on the Plans page, plus VAT, with no annual contract. Move up, down, or out any month.

How it works

One partner, one fee, one weekly loop.

What we stand for, how the fee works and how a week with us goes. The answers above cover the specifics; every line here can be checked on the Values page.

  • One partner, not four suppliers

    Website, content, ads and automations, run as one weekly loop from Starter.

  • One published fee, before the call

    Starter is on the Plans page, plus VAT, no setup fee, no annual contract.

  • The founder does the work

    The person on your first call is the person who ships it, every week.

  • Nothing finishes

    Plan, build, iterate: each month starts where the last one ended.

  • Yours stays yours, in writing

    Domain, brand, content and data are yours and leave with you.

  • And if you ever leave

    Any month, no exit fee, two months of continuity; the engine stays ours.

Who you would be working with
