The short answer

What should a business law firm website include?

A business law firm website should explain what you do for each kind of company, from startups to owner-managed businesses selling up. It needs sector and service pages, lawyer profiles with real experience, representative matters listed only with client consent, a clear way to request a fee quote, and articles that answer the questions founders and in-house counsel actually search.

Built in

What every business lawyer website includes

  • Sector and service pages that rank

    A page for each industry you advise and each service a buyer searches, such as shareholder agreements, asset purchases or employment contracts for employers, written for owners and in-house counsel rather than for other lawyers.

  • Representative matters with consent built in

    A matters register that stores the consent date behind each entry and hides any row without one, so a deal list never goes live before the client has agreed to be named or described.

  • Fee packages without published figures

    Startup and fixed-scope packages described by what they include, with a quote request that sends the scope to a lawyer, so fees are confirmed in an engagement letter instead of a web page.

  • An insights library and consent-based newsletter

    Articles tagged by topic and author with Article and Person structured data, plus a subscription form that records express consent and puts a working unsubscribe in every issue.

  • Secure document rooms

    A client area for diligence uploads, closing checklists and signature pages, with two-step sign-in and an access log, so deal documents stop travelling as email attachments.

  • Conflict-first enquiry forms

    The enquiry asks for the company and the other parties before the facts of the matter, and warns the visitor not to send anything confidential until the firm has cleared conflicts.

How clients search

The searches and pages a business lawyer website needs

Business clients search in two modes. Founders and owners search a task with a deadline, such as incorporating, a shareholder agreement, selling the company or a contract to sign by Friday, often on a phone between meetings. In-house counsel and finance leads search narrower questions at a desk and read a firm’s analysis before shortlisting it. Many mandates still start with a referral from an accountant, banker or another lawyer, and that referral gets checked against lawyer profiles, sector pages and published insights, increasingly through an AI assistant.

  • “business lawyer near me”
  • “shareholder agreement lawyer”
  • “lawyer to review a commercial lease”
  • “how much does it cost to incorporate with a lawyer”
  • “startup lawyer for a seed round”
  • “lawyer for selling a small business”
  • “franchise agreement review lawyer”
  • “employment contract lawyer for employers”
  1. 01

    Service pages by piece of work

    A page for each piece of work a buyer searches by name, such as incorporations, shareholder agreements, share and asset purchases, financings and commercial contracts, each saying what is involved, what usually drives the timeline and who leads it.

  2. 02

    Sector pages

    Construction, software, franchising, manufacturing or whichever sectors you advise, written in that industry’s terms. A finance lead who lands on a page about their own sector’s contracts reads further than one who lands on a list of statutes.

  3. 03

    Lawyer profiles

    Admissions, year of call, sectors, deal types and published articles, with Person structured data. Referrals are usually checked here first, so a profile should read as the lawyer’s working experience rather than a list of memberships.

  4. 04

    Representative matters, with consent

    Deal types listed only where each client has agreed, with the firm’s role stated, such as counsel to the buyer, and a past-results note beside the list. No deal value appears unless the client has approved that figure in writing.

  5. 05

    Packages and how fees are quoted

    For startups and owner-managed companies: what each fixed-scope package covers, how hourly or capped work is quoted, and a quote request that reaches a lawyer. Founders look for scope and cost before they ask for a call.

  6. 06

    An insights library

    Short analysis of new legislation, court decisions and deal terms, each with an author, a date and a plain summary at the top. These pages earn links and newsletter sign-ups, and give assistants something attributable to cite.

  7. 07

    A conflict-first enquiry page

    A contact page that asks for the company and the other parties before the facts, and warns against sending confidential details until conflicts are cleared. It protects the firm and shows a sophisticated buyer that the process is run carefully.

SEO, AEO and GEO

How business lawyers get found in Google and in AI answers

  • Google Business Profile, kept exact

    Choose the closest business or corporate law category Google lists, add each office and its hours, describe only the work you take, and keep details identical across the bar or law society directory and legal directories. Referred buyers often check the map listing before they call.

  • Local Services Ads where Google offers them

    Google’s Local Services Ads include a business law category in many US areas. Google decides eligibility, runs its own checks and shows its own badge; the site needs service pages and an intake that match the matters those ads bring in.

  • Insights AI assistants can attribute

    Each article opens with a two-sentence answer, names the author and the date, links the statute or decision, and carries Article and Person structured data. Clear, attributed answers in the text are what AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity can lift into a reply to an in-house counsel’s question; the markup helps Google read the page, but it does not make an assistant pick it.

  • Mentions where business readers are

    Bylined pieces in trade and business press, bar association publications and conference speaker pages build the links and independent mentions that help a commercial firm get found, and give assistants outside sources confirming which sectors the firm advises.

Compliance

The rules for business lawyers, handled in the design

Business law firms market to sophisticated buyers, yet the same advertising and confidentiality rules apply to every page. These are the rules that shape a commercial firm’s deal list, newsletter and enquiry form, and what each design does about them.

Sources gathered October 6, 2026. This is how our designs handle these rules, not legal advice: rules change and differ by province and state, so your bar or law society (or your firm’s ethics partner) has the final word, and you approve every page before it goes live.

  • US · ABA Model Rule 1.6

    Client lists and deal descriptions need consent

    Rule 1.6 protects all information relating to a representation, not only privileged communications, so naming a client or describing an identifiable deal needs the client’s informed consent. The matters register publishes a row only once a consent date is recorded against it.

    ABA — Model Rule 1.6, confidentiality of information

  • US · ABA Formal Opinion 480

    Blogs and briefings cannot reveal client matters

    Opinion 480 (2018) says lawyers who blog, post or speak publicly may not reveal information relating to a representation, even if it is in a public court record, and that calling a story hypothetical does not help if the client could still be identified. Briefing templates prompt authors to remove identifying detail before publishing.

    ABA Formal Opinion 480 — confidentiality and lawyer public commentary

  • US · ABA Model Rule 7.1

    Deal credentials that do not mislead

    Under Model Rule 7.1 a deal list can mislead even when every line is accurate, for example by implying the firm led a closing it only advised on. Matter descriptions state the firm’s role, such as counsel to the buyer, and sit next to a note that past transactions do not predict another client’s result.

    ABA — Model Rule 7.1

  • US · ABA Model Rules 7.2 and 7.3

    Referral partners and direct outreach

    Rule 7.2(b) bars giving anything of value for a recommendation, with exceptions such as a non-exclusive reciprocal referral agreement the client is told about. Rule 7.3 limits live person-to-person solicitation but allows it toward other lawyers and people who routinely use the type of legal service for business. Partner pages describe relationships without paying for referrals.

    ABA — Model Rules 7.2 and 7.3, recommendations and solicitation

  • US · ABA Opinion 10-457

    Website enquiries and prospective-client duties

    ABA Formal Opinion 10-457 notes that a firm website inviting enquiries can create duties to a prospective client, and that disclaimers must be clear. The enquiry form explains before the visitor types that sending it does not form a retainer and asks for party names so conflicts are checked first.

  • Ontario

    Marketing that is true and in the client’s interest

    Law Society of Ontario rule 4.2-1 and its commentary ask that marketing be demonstrably true, accurate and verifiable, and not misleading or contrary to the best interests of the public. Ontario versions describe fixed-fee packages by scope and say fees are confirmed in writing, avoiding a headline figure the engagement may not match.

    Law Society of Ontario — Rules of Professional Conduct, chapter 4

  • Canada · CASL

    A newsletter list built on consent

    Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation requires consent before sending commercial electronic messages, sender identification in each one and an unsubscribe that works, with requests honoured within ten business days. The subscribe form records express consent and every issue carries the firm’s contact details and a one-click unsubscribe.

Questions

Business lawyers: common questions

How much does a business law firm website cost?
A business law firm website of up to 25 pages is $1,500 paid upfront, or $150 a month for 12 months, and it is yours after the 12th payment. A larger site of up to about 100 pages is $4,000, or $400 a month. Hosting and care is $29 or $49 a month. Prices are in US dollars.
Can my firm list its clients and deals on the website?
Only with each client’s informed consent. Confidentiality covers everything relating to a representation, including deals that were reported in the press or filed publicly. The matters register stores a consent date behind every entry and hides any row without one, so nothing appears until the client has agreed to be named or described.Many firms describe a matter without naming the client, such as “counsel to the buyer of a regional distributor”, but even that needs care if the client could still be identified.
Should a startup lawyer publish package prices?
You can describe packages without typing a figure. Founders mainly want to know what is included, so each package lists its scope, incorporation, founder vesting or a first financing, and the quote request sends the details to a lawyer. The fee is confirmed in a written engagement letter, which keeps the page accurate when scope changes.
Can our lawyers write about recent cases and deals on the blog?
They can write about the law, but ABA Formal Opinion 480 warns that public commentary may not reveal information relating to a client’s matter, even when it is in a public record, and that framing it as a hypothetical does not help if the client is identifiable. Briefing templates ask authors to strip identifying facts before publishing.
Does our law firm newsletter need consent under CASL?
If you send it to recipients in Canada, generally yes. CASL requires consent before commercial electronic messages are sent, your identification in each message and an unsubscribe that works. The subscribe form records express consent with a date, and every issue carries your contact details and a one-click unsubscribe, which keeps a newsletter list clean and defensible.
Do business lawyers need a website if their work comes by referral?
Yes, because referrals get checked. An accountant or banker who recommends you passes on a name, and the owner then reads your profile, your sector pages and what you have written before calling. A site with clear service pages, consented representative matters and recent insights turns that check into a call instead of a reason to try the next name.
Will my business lawyer website rank on Google?
It launches with the technical SEO done: fast pages, clean structure, structured data, local pages and redirects from your old site. To keep climbing, a BOOSTD SEO plan from $149 a month runs 262 checks on your site every week, fixes what is safe to fix and gets the rest ready for your OK.No one can promise a position on Google, and we never do. Google warns businesses about anyone who does.
Can I get one of these business law website designs?
Yes. Each is a complete, ready-to-launch website design BOOSTD made for business lawyers. Pick one and we make it yours, with your name, colours, photos, content and the licence or compliance details your industry expects, from $150 a month and yours after 12 payments.Approved client sites are shown with a “Client work” tag, and only with the client’s written permission.
