Marketing for law firms that respects the profession
Solicitors, conveyancers, family law, commercial. Compliant marketing that builds authority, generates qualified enquiries, and works within SRA rules.

The marketing problems we see in legal services
Same patterns turn up over and over. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
01. All your competitors look identical
Most law firm websites use the same template, same stock imagery, same hollow phrases. Standing out is harder than it should be.
02. Compliance worries slow everything down
SRA Code of Conduct on advertising, AML obligations, GDPR. Marketing has to handle all of it properly. We've done legal sector work for years; we know the rules.
03. Solicitors hate selling, clients hate being sold to
Pushy marketing damages legal brands. Authority-led content marketing builds trust without ever 'selling'.
04. Lead-gen sites cost a fortune and dilute your brand
Per-lead pricing on referral platforms gets expensive fast and the leads aren't yours. SEO and content build long-term assets that you own.
Marketing for legal services: what we know
Legal is one of our specialist sectors. We understand SRA marketing rules, the way clients actually search for solicitors, and the distinction between a casual enquiry and a serious instruction. Marketing that builds authority without crossing professional lines.

Authority content
Long-form articles on your areas of practice. Properly researched, signed by named solicitors, building topical authority, boosting personal brand at the same time.

Do you understand SRA marketing rules?
Yes. We work with several SRA-regulated firms and understand the Code of Conduct rules on marketing, transparency, and complaints handling. We won’t accidentally land you in compliance trouble.
Can you write technical legal content?
Yes. UK-based writers, fact-checked by your solicitors before publication. We’d never publish legal content without sign-off from a qualified solicitor at your firm. Authority requires accuracy.
How quickly should we expect results?
Legal SEO is one of the slower verticals. Six to twelve months for meaningful traffic growth, twelve to eighteen months for compounding gains. Anyone promising fast results in legal is doing something Google will eventually punish.
Do you handle PPC for legal?
Yes, but selectively. Some legal verticals are very expensive on Google Ads (clinical negligence, personal injury). Where PPC makes sense (local probate, conveyancing), we run targeted campaigns. We’ll tell you honestly when to skip it.

The people behind your marketing
We're a boutique, women-led agency in Cheshire, running since 2016. We started because we'd seen too many small businesses burn through agency budgets and end up with a slow site and a stack of invoices.
Legal services is one of the sectors we know best. You deal with a senior person who stays on the work start to finish, not an account manager passing messages along.
- Five-star rated, every review 54 reviews across Google and Facebook. Not one of them below five stars.
- Award-winning Shortlisted more times than we can neatly list, and we've taken a good few home.
- Everything done in-house No freelancers, no white-label, nobody you've never met touching your account.
- Outspoken, honest support We'll tell you when something won't work, even when it'd be easier to take the money.
What our clients say
Real reviews from real clients. No filtering, no pay-to-play.
I’ve just phoned and spoken to Rhi, who has been absolutely incredible! I phoned to cheekily ask for some advice, as I am fundraising for a charity event. She was incredible, offering advice, guidance and ideas. The support was truly incredible and has allowed me now to hopefully generate more publicity and support for the event I am supporting.I am in awe of her friendly disposition and her generosity of her experience.Her entire demeanour was approachable and supportive and offered a true unique perspective, whilst being situational and economically aware.So pleased, and touched to have had such a wonderful and postive interaction and would encourage anyone to use their services again.
The Cheshire Cat team are fantastic. They really care about understanding your business and doing a great job. Each time they send me some posts to approve I'm always thrilled with the results - and with 20+ years marketing experience, I'm not an easy person to please! We've seen our followers steadily grow whilst we've been working with them - recommended!
