PRECEDENT — the law firm & legal counsel Framer template
A law firm est. 1948 — anti-brochure editorial with drawn timelines and real archival depth.
What PRECEDENT is
A law-firm website that demonstrates gravity instead of asserting trust. It opens on The Record — a brass plaque whose figures strike into place — then lays its chapters over one another like pages on a desk, with a page for every practice, partner and insight and a consultation intake built in.
What's inside PRECEDENT
Signature moments
- The Record — figures that strike
A brass plaque of the firm’s record, four figures counting into place. Hover one and its citation surfaces in the ledger line below.
- Chapters that lay over one another
On desktop the firm, the practices and the record pin and stack — one rises over the last, then an ink chapter wipes open as its figures strike.
- An opening seal
An ink field where the firm’s seal strikes in, a rule draws and the wordmark settles — a quick wipe on return visits.
- Partners on engraved plates
Three editorial plates in one warm grayscale, framed in double hairlines, with portraits that drift against the type as you scroll.
Content & CMS
- A table of authority
Six practices set as a roman-numeral index; each row opens its own page with the approach, representative matters and the partners who lead.
- A page for every attorney
Six profiles from the CMS — portrait, admissions, education and standing — linked from the roster and the homepage plates.
- Insights that read like briefs
Articles live in the CMS with a date and rich text, and each one links on to the next — last back to first.
- A consultation intake
Office, matter type and urgency, validated inline. Until you connect it, it says plainly that nothing was transmitted — no invented reference.
Built right
- Built for phones
Its own tablet and phone layouts and a full-screen ink menu, tested down to 320px and in landscape with nothing scrolling sideways.
- The fine print, already written
Privacy and terms pages drafted in full, plus office addresses, credentials and an attorney-advertising notice in the footer.
- Motion that holds 60fps
The stacking chapters, count-ups and seal run on one shared animation clock — and sit perfectly still for reduced-motion visitors.
- SEO already set up
Every page and every CMS item has its own title and description, with a share image and favicon in place.
Every page, ready to go
12 page types come with the remix, each with its own desktop, tablet and phone layout.
Who PRECEDENT is built for

Questions, answered
Do I need to know how to code to use PRECEDENT?
No. PRECEDENT is a Framer template: every word, colour, font and image is edited on the Framer canvas or in the properties panel and the CMS. A Start Here page inside the project lists every edit a law firm & legal counsel site needs.
Do I need a paid Framer plan?
Not to remix and edit — a free Framer account is enough. To publish on your own domain you'll need a Framer site plan, paid to Framer, not to us.
What do I get?
The plain remix link: one click copies the whole PRECEDENT project into your Framer account. No email, no sign-up with us.
Can I use PRECEDENT for client work?
Yes — the free licence covers your own site or a client's. Reselling the template itself isn't allowed.
Is PRECEDENT responsive?
Yes. PRECEDENT ships with its own desktop, tablet and phone layouts, a real mobile menu, and it is checked down to 320 px wide before it is listed.
Can I get a refund?
It's free — remix it and try it. If you want more, All-Access is $199 once for every template we've made and every one we'll make.
