Client Goal & Challenges
Mazars required a centralized digital solution to manage and access financial legislation across multiple jurisdictions and timelines. Their primary goal was to develop a platform where users—both internal and external—could easily search and review current financial laws as well as historical versions. Users needed the ability to:
- Search laws using specific keywords or phrases, with highlighted results and intuitive navigation.
- Track changes over time by accessing archived versions of laws.
- Stay informed about updates, amendments, or interpretations through a dedicated news and blog section.
- Interact with published content via comments or legal Q&A participation.
Additionally, the platform had to include a robust admin panel, allowing authorized personnel to create, edit, and categorize legal entries. New content would be saved in a draft state and published only when finalized. This feature was essential to ensure accuracy, legal compliance, and editorial flexibility.
Key challenges included handling large volumes of complex legal data, ensuring precise and flexible search capabilities, and maintaining an intuitive user experience across web and mobile devices.
