It is official: Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer’s website is a cut above the competition. In a significant coup for its marketing department, the magic circle giant was the clear overall winner in the first benchmarking survey of the UK’s top 20 law firms’ websites.

The survey, commissioned by Legal IT and carried out by Intendance, a web design, consulting and development firm, scored all 20 firms’ websites in three categories – content, usability and design – which were then combined to give an overall score.
