The Challenge

Eversheds Sutherland, a leading global corporate law firm, sought to leverage modern mobile and web technology for global legal advice delivery. With an existing Flash-based website incompatible with mobile devices, they aimed to enhance its reach and performance alongside improvements to their iPhone app's functionality and design. Eversheds engaged calls9 for a comprehensive revamp, requiring a flexible update system for both platforms, an effective communication tool for mobile users, and ways to gauge website and app effectiveness.

The Delivery

Our creative team started by creating a custom multi-platform brand identity for web and mobile using Eversheds' new brand guidelines and created a fresh and modern design that improved the overall user experience.The final output was a consistent brand identity which could be used across other web and mobile projects in the future.

Our developers then took over to build:

  • An app-like experience for desktop and tablet users using modern technology, improving speed, functionality, and content accessibility.
  • An easy-to-use iPhone app with features like country comparison, personalised lists of legal advice, and email sharing capabilities.

As a global law firm, Eversheds had a rich pool of content that needed to be transferred, modified and managed efficiently. Our team:

  • Handled over 3,000 legal guidance notes using Nucleus, our content and communications platform.
  • Enabled Eversheds to manage legal guidance across desktop and mobile platforms efficiently.
  • Provided daily data backup on a global cloud network, allowing Eversheds to focus on content without data concerns.
