Professional services, where authority operates under ethical rules.
Law firms, accounting practices, consulting shops. Categories that historically resist marketing rigor, where the constraint on language is written by a regulator rather than a brand team.
| Check | Rule | Status |
|---|---|---|
| No solicitation language | Bar Council of India Rule 36 | Passed |
| No outcome promises | BCI; SRA guidance | Passed |
| Precedent stated accurately | Editor, partner review | Passed |
| Firm authority, not partner authority | Position boundary | Passed |
Category realities
Generic legal marketing violates ethical marketing rules. Content oversimplifies precedent into misstatements. Voice programs flatten firm authority into personal partner authority, which the firm then cannot own.
A general counsel writing an RFP, and a peer at another firm who will notice the precedent was misstated.
Frameworks the writing has to respect
In India, the rules on legal advertising are stricter than in most bar associations. The writing is built inside them.
| Framework | Jurisdiction | What it constrains in the writing |
|---|---|---|
| Bar Council of India Rule 36 | India | No advertising or solicitation. Educational content is permitted; the line is drawn in the writing. |
| ICAI code of ethics on advertising | India | What a chartered accountancy practice may say about itself and its services. |
| SRA transparency rules | UK | Pricing and service information; what must and must not be published. |
| ABA Model Rules 7.1 to 7.3 | United States | Misleading communications, specialisation claims, solicitation. |
| Client confidentiality and privilege | Global | What may be said about matters, even anonymised, in case studies and thought leadership. |
Three pitfalls, written from work we have had to correct
A practice-area piece ended with a call to engage the firm. Under BCI Rule 36 that sentence was the problem.
A summary of a judgment dropped a qualification. A peer at another firm posted the paragraph.
A voice program made one partner the face of a practice area the firm needed to own institutionally.
