Public homepage — an approachable entry point built around everyday language.
Project context
Belgian legal work involves consultations, proceedings, hearings, written opinions, submissions, decisions, documents, fees, payments and legal aid. These activities are closely connected, but they are not viewed or handled in the same way by everyone involved.
I used the legal matter as the central organising unit. Conversations, dates, documents, financial actions and professional work all connect back to it, while permissions determine what each person can see and do.
I structured the product around a shared legal matter, then adapted its information and actions to each role and permission level.
Plain language first
The intake starts with a life situation or a description in the client’s own words, rather than requiring legal terminology.
Visible next steps
Statuses, deadlines and pending actions make long legal processes easier to scan without flattening their complexity.
Scoped collaboration
Delegation is attached to a specific opinion, hearing or submission, preserving both confidentiality and traceability.
Matter overview — compact statuses show what is happening and what needs attention.Scheduling — consultations and hearings share one view, connected to availability rules and calendar constraints.Lawyer missions — delegated work remains scoped to a specific task and traceable to its matter.Matter activity — messages, documents, events and approvals form one permission-aware chronology.
