Digital work for law firms, built within Law Society rules.
Law firms compete in markets where the brand carries real weight in the comparison shop before any call. The work has to read as credible to sophisticated researchers while satisfying Law Society of Ontario advertising and tracking rules from day one.
A law firm's prospect typically researches the firm for days or weeks before calling. They read the partner biographies. They check the Google reviews. They look up the firm in the Law Society directory. They search for case results where confidentiality permits. They compare the firm's site against three competitors. The brand, the site, and the search visibility do most of the credibility work before the first conversation.
We work with law firms across the GTA on websites, SEO, brand work, AI implementation, and analytics, all designed within Law Society of Ontario advertising rules, PIPEDA privacy constraints, and PHIPA where personal injury or family law involves health data. We tell you up front which marketing claims are permitted and which would invite Law Society review.
What makes law firms different
- 01Law Society of Ontario Rules of Professional Conduct restrict marketing claims, comparative advertising, and case-outcome representations. Generic small business marketing copy often violates these rules. We write copy that's compelling within the constraints.
- 02Personal injury and family law firms operate under additional constraints: PHIPA for medical records, confidentiality rules for ongoing matters, restrictions on retainer-specific advertising. The implementation has to respect all of these.
- 03Per-client values are high, especially for family law, estate planning, corporate, and personal injury work. The math justifies serious brand investment that wouldn't fit a typical small business.
- 04Buyer research cycles run weeks. Multi-touch attribution tied to CRM (Clio, PracticePanther, MyCase, LEAP) captures the actual journey from first touch to retained client. Single-touch attribution misses where value originates.
Our approach
- →We start with the Law Society review pass. What claims can the firm make? What evidence can be displayed? What case work can be referenced (with client permission and confidentiality protections)? The content scope follows.
- →We build credibility-first websites with real partner photography, real Law Society credentials, considered typography. Generic legal templates underperform with sophisticated buyers.
- →We do branded SERP work. Knowledge panel, site links, articles published in Lawyer's Daily and similar outlets, real LinkedIn presence for each partner. Buyers Google your firm name; we make sure they find a coherent picture.
- →We design Law-Society-compliant analytics and AI implementations. Clio integration for intake-to-retention attribution. AI drafting of routine letters with attorney review. Document review workflows that respect confidentiality.

Common questions
- Do you understand Law Society of Ontario advertising rules?
- Yes. We work within Rules of Professional Conduct 4.04 (marketing of professional services), 5.06 (advertising of fees), and related rules. We tell you up front which marketing claims are permitted, which require client consent, and which would invite Law Society review.
- Can we display case outcomes or testimonials?
- With client written consent and proper context, often yes. Case outcomes need to be presented in ways that don't suggest similar results are guaranteed. Testimonials need client written consent and have to respect ongoing-matter confidentiality. We help structure these correctly.
- What practice management systems do you integrate with?
- Clio, PracticePanther, MyCase, LEAP, plus standard CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce) where the firm uses them. We connect intake data through case management to closed-retainer attribution.
- What does a typical law firm digital engagement cost?
- Website builds in our $5,000 to $10,000 CAD project range. Ongoing care for SEO and branded SERP work at $300 to $1,000 CAD per month. AI implementation projects $5,000 to $10,000 CAD per workflow. For high-per-retainer practice areas, heavier investment usually pays back in months.
