Project Overview
Leonardo Legacy helps turn intellectual property into business assets — from patent strategy and monetization to technology transfer and due diligence.
The site reflects that positioning with a luxury “family office” aesthetic: warm ivory surfaces, gold accents, hairline borders and generous typography.
It is also one of the most carefully engineered sites in the portfolio, with a strict security policy, accessible navigation and a form protected without a CAPTCHA.
What It Had to Do
- Make a complex advisory offer easy to understand
- Project the credibility of a family office
- Showcase the ventures and industries it partners with
- Capture consultation requests securely, without friction
