Law firm websites are usually a parade of scales-of-justice clip art and grim headshots, but S.A.J. Legal Solicitors once broke the mould with something far more… caprine. As RollOnFriday gleefully reported, the firm’s ethos was embodied by the Markhor—a mountain goat famed for thriving in the Himalayas’ toughest conditions. The site waxed lyrical about resilience, agility, and reaching “the pinnacle of success,” all through the metaphor of a shaggy goat perched on a cliff.
Alas, the greatest of all time was swiftly downgraded to the dullest of all templates when S.A.J. ditched its horned muse for a sanitized, goat-free website. The loss is tragic for anyone who thinks law firms should stand out from the herd, though it’s a reminder that even in marketing, lawyers can’t resist climbing back to the safety of the bland middle ground.
Lawyers, take note: sometimes the G.O.A.T. really is a goat.
