Link Building for Corporate Law Firms

For a corporate law firm, the strongest links come from chambers of commerce, investment promotion agencies and business associations, which list advisers and publish articles by experts.

Offering a short expert article to their members' newsletter is usually the way onto their adviser list as well.

Online challenges for corporate law firms

Trade chambers, investment promotion bodies and business groups publish lists of legal advisers, often without a link or under an old name.

Those are the links a foreign investor follows, and they are left unused.

Proof of expertise must stay within professional rules

Clients judge credibility by your specialisation, how you describe results and whether you communicate ethically.

  • Weak proof on the page makes clients with major matters less ready to get in touch.
  • Clear signs of trust bring better first contacts from the right clients.

Accountants and banks on the same deal who never link to you

A transaction brings together auditors, banks and notaries, and each keeps a page of trusted partners.

  • Unless someone asks, the lawyers beside them are left off that page.
  • A page that explains how you work with advisers gives them a reason to add you.

Link Building approach for corporate law firms

For corporate law firms, we plan Link Building around expert material, industry publications and pages that earn trust, not a growing pile of placements.

Chambers, investment agencies and business associations

Bodies that help companies do business keep lists of advisers and publish expert articles, and both are edited by people.

  • We check the firm's entry in the chamber of commerce, in bilateral chambers and with the agency that promotes foreign investment, and make sure each links to the right office or task page.
  • Where members may contribute a commentary on a change in company law, a partner writes it and the author note links to that partner's profile.

The advisers and networks you already work beside

A transaction brings together accountants, auditors, banks, notaries and law firms from other countries, and many of them list the advisers they trust.

  • An international network of law firms has a member page for each country, and yours should link to the profiles of the partners who take that work.
  • Conferences and universities where partners speak or teach publish speaker pages, and we ask that the link goes to the partner and not to a generic home page.

A guide that others cite when they explain the country

Chambers abroad, embassies and trade journalists need a reliable account of how to set up and run a company here.

  • A guide for foreign investors, kept current by a named partner and held at one address, gives them something to link to year after year.
  • We do not place sponsored articles dressed as editorial and do not buy links in bundles. A link that had to be paid for is advertising and should be labelled as such.

Link Building process for corporate law firms

01

Link audit

We check which sites link to you now, which links look doubtful and which of your pages deserve links first.

02

Who would link, and why

We list the businesses and organisations with a real reason to mention you, and the page each link should point to. For corporate firms, the partner clears every article offered to a chamber or an agency, and we check it against the professional rules on publicity.

03

Outreach and content

We contact them with something worth linking to, and we never buy links.

04

Checking each link

We check every new link, the visits it sends and whether the page it points to gains ground in search.

Price: link building for corporate law firms from €400 a month plus VAT for the basic scope, three-month minimum. A wider scope is quoted after a free audit.

How we measure results for corporate law firms

Each link is credited to the sector or partner page it opens, together with the company enquiries that page produced.

Questions about Link Building for corporate law firms

Plain answers about Link Building, written for corporate law firms.

Organisations that deal with companies and need to point them to counsel: chambers of commerce, investment agencies, business associations, international law firm networks and the co-advisers you meet on transactions.

  • Legal and business media link when a partner explains a change in the law.
  • Clients seldom do, and we do not ask them to.

They count when the author note carries a link to the partner's profile, and many portals leave it out unless asked.

  • We ask.
  • An article without a link is still a mention that readers and search engines can see.
  • With the publisher's consent the text can later appear on your own site, with a reference to where it was first printed.

The pages a third party has a reason to cite: the guide for investors, the pages for each kind of work, such as setting up a company, and partner profiles.

  • A chamber links to the guide, a conference to the speaker.
  • The home page gathers links by itself, so effort spent on it is mostly wasted.

Judge such a profile as an advert, because that is what it is.

  • Ask how many enquiries such profiles send, and whether your clients read that portal at all.
  • The link ought to be marked as sponsored, so we do not count it among earned links.
  • We advise against packages that promise many links from sites nobody has heard of.
