Client: LEGAmedia was an independent online magazine and portal site for lawyers and entrepreneurs, regularly offering in-depth features on topics from law, business and politics, computers and the Internet, as well as education.
Details: The online magazine targeted businesses seeking legal advice, as well as lawyers and attorneys. Within five years, LEGAmedia had grown into one of the largest suppliers of legal resources worldwide and had a household name in Germany. Authors of the mostly English-language articles have included a great many major international law firms such as Akin Gump, Weil Gotshal, Haarmann Hemmelrath, and Rödl & Partner, as well as outstanding personalities like former New York city mayor, Ed Koch.
After years of experience in building and maintaining legal online magazines (such as my projects for C.H. Beck publishers and AOL), and after having developed award-winning legal websites for a number of years, it seemed only logical I should set out to start my own online legal magazine.
I founded LEGAmedia in 1999 and was both the CEO and the editor-in-chief for the site. I was also responsible for concept, articles, design, illustrations, implementation and marketing.
I have also developed other assets of design such as the corporate logo, the brochures, and the corporate stationery.
LEGAmedia is tailored to
the demands of legal professionals and entrepreneurs.

Unternehmern zugeschnitten. (Financial Times Deutschland, 2000)
