Description
Legal is an editorial-grade WordPress theme for boutique chambers, white-shoe firms, and modern legal practices. Designed in the spirit of a serious legal publication — refined Fraunces typeface for headlines, oxblood italic accents, and a publication-style hero with a pull-quote and credentials marquee. Six configurable practice tiles, an editorial Counsel grid, a sophisticated split-form Section V, app-like mobile navigation, and a typography system tuned for credibility. No jQuery, no Bootstrap, no icon fonts. Optimised for Core Web Vitals. Pair with the optional Legal Pro plugin for premium skins, demo importer, and unlimited Google Font pairings.
