About the firm
Bend Mediation LLC is a boutique alternative dispute resolution practice founded by attorney Stefani Shanberg, specializing in intellectual property mediation, arbitration, and neutral evaluation services. The practice serves a national audience of law firm partners and sophisticated in-house counsel.
Dan Gilroy Design created a refined single-page website that departs from traditional legal website aesthetics. The design features a clean, streamlined look with a sophisticated color palette of forest pine, slate gray, and warm bronze accents. Inspired by high-end professional service sites, the layout emphasizes visual elegance over usual legal industry conventions.
Services included custom logo design, generative AI image creation for hero and background visuals, responsive web design with dynamic content management, and mobile-first optimization. The finished website quickly establishes credibility with elite clients, sets Stefani apart from agency-affiliated mediators, and positions Bend Mediation as a premium boutique practice in the competitive IP mediation field.

Before and after
Before
No predecessor site
Bend Mediation was a new practice, so there was no earlier website or archived design to improve. The starting point was a blank digital presence and the need to introduce a sophisticated neutral to law firm partners and in-house counsel nationwide.
After
An original single-page practice launch
The finished site combines a new identity with a focused one-page experience covering services, approach, representative mediation experience, recognition, background, and contact. Anchor navigation and a responsive layout keep substantial credentials easy to scan without making the boutique practice feel small.
Original build: no prior website existed.
The design
I had a terrific experience working with Dan on my mediation website. He did an excellent job from start to finish, and I'm very pleased with the result. Dan is responsive, personable, and a pleasure to work with. He listened carefully, followed my instructions precisely, and executed efficiently without extra cycles. The process was smooth and professional. Dan shares my attention to detail, which is a real compliment! And he added creative ideas to the process that I would not have come up with myself. I would absolutely recommend Dan to anyone looking for a thoughtful, capable web designer who delivers high-quality work.Stefani Shanberg, Bend Mediation (Google Review, December 2025)
