Best for

  • UK law firms
  • LinkedIn-led thought leadership
  • Partners wanting personal brands
  • Legal marketers needing training

Not for

  • Non-law businesses — this agency is legal-sector only
  • Anyone expecting self-serve software — it's an agency; humans bill hours
  • Small firms chasing cheap ads management — the £99 fee buys a review only
  • US buyers — the identically named Idaho firm is a different company

Gotchas - check before you buy

£99 buys a review only; ongoing retainers are unpriced until sales calls
