Jenner & Block is a national law firm headquartered in Chicago that has a proud history, a strong commitment to public service and an exceptional team of lawyers that includes some of the country’s leading minds in the field. The new website allows for a show, don’t tell presentation. The home page features a custom video consisting of time lapse videography shot from each of their four locations and combined with real employees interacting in the foreground. The result is a conceptual testament to the quality of their people and their collective vision.
The new site features dual navigation as well as a tabular page system that allows for a multitude of content on any given page. Additionally, any page on the website can be downloaded as a PDF, emailed, printed or added to the Virtual File.
The Our People section introduces you to the Jenner team by greeting you with a new set of lawyers upon each visit. Locating a lawyer is also very simple. Search results are loaded dynamically and can be filtered down by practice area, location, law school, role, or clerkship.
Bio pages give each lawyer a unique voice by highlighting individual achievements as well as service to the community.
The “Your Path at Jenner & Block” feature under the “Join Us” section, speaks to potential recruits by highlighting key messages and testimonials through unique functionality.
The Library houses all documents, past and present. The most recent events, publications or news items are shown upon visiting but search results are dynamically loaded in place depending on your search criteria.
A Search lightbox loads overtop of the current page so you never lose your place in the site.
The Virtual File feature is an adaptation of the familiar shopping cart feature found in e-commerce sites. It allows the user to assemble and then package a custom PDF document built from any assets on the site that can be saved and then shared as the user sees fit.
