CMS is one of the leading international organizations of independent business law firms, with over 6,300 lawyers across 81 locations worldwide.


Together, we reimagined, designed, and supported the technical implementation of the global website. The new digital presence strengthens CMS’s positioning, offers users a consistent digital experience, and serves as a foundation for future digital services.

Stakeholder Management at Scale

CMS brings together 21 independent law firms under one common umbrella. To enable swift decision-making within this complex stakeholder environment, we developed an agile collaboration model with clear decision-making paths and communication structures. Through workshops and iterative prototypes, we were able to efficiently test and refine aligned concepts.

Development of a Flexible Design System

Together with CMS, we evolved the digital appearance to visually reflect their positioning as a forward-looking partner. The design system ensures a consistent brand presence across all digital channels while enabling flexible adaptations and further developments — laying the groundwork for future digital services.

The Insights Hub enables flexible content delivery—either globally consistent or tailored to regional needs. This ensures a cohesive brand presence worldwide, while allowing CMS firms to create locally relevant content.
