Firms can't see where they stand

Clients ask an AI which firm to trust before they call anyone. If your name isn't in the answer, you never knew.

61%of UK lawyers now use generative AI

Up from 46% at the start of 2025 (LexisNexis). Clients increasingly use it the same way — to shortlist firms before they ever make contact.

You answer to the SRA on accuracy and confidentiality. So does how we work — every word is checked by a person and signed off by you, and privileged material never leaves your hands.

The shift is already in the numbers

80%

of the UK's top-40 firms now actively promote their AI use to clients, up from 60% a year earlier (LexisNexis). The market is already competing on it.

59%

of corporate legal departments want their firms to use Gen AI (Thomson Reuters). Clients are asking — and asking AI who to instruct.

Visibility is a margin question

Win clients who arrive already trusting you, and your cost to win drops. Pitching for work you should have been shortlisted for is what eats your margin today.

£0what an AI recommendation you never earn is worth to you

Every quarter you stay invisible, better-fit clients instruct the firm the engine named. The retainer pays for itself by winning work that arrives already sold.

What the Recommendation Index shows for a law firm

Inside a week you'll know where you stand, who's getting recommended instead, and what it takes to change it.

  • How your firm appears today when a client asks AI which firm to instruct, across seven engines.
  • Which firms get recommended instead, and why those names.
  • Whether the engines understand you, confuse you, or know nothing about you.
  • The high-intent questions no firm yet owns in your practice areas.

Then a plan, sequenced over four quarters.

//.by_firm_type

By firm type

High-street & regional firm

Trusted locally, thin in the sources an engine reads when a client asks who to instruct.

Specialist boutique

A real niche the engines should name you for — if the proof is where they look.

Mid-market commercial firm

Known to peers, often lost between the magic-circle names and the local ones in AI answers.

//.questions

Law-firm questions

Will AI really recommend a specific law firm?
Yes. Ask an AI "which firm should I instruct?" and it increasingly answers with named firms and a source, not generic advice. The only question is whether yours is one of those names. The Recommendation Index measures it across seven engines.
We're bound by the SRA and client confidentiality — is this compliant?
Yes. Every piece we publish is written to your regulatory standards, checked by a person and signed off by you. We never touch privileged or client-identifying material, and nothing ships that your firm couldn't stand behind.
Isn't this just SEO?
No, though good SEO helps. Search ranks pages; AI names firms and cites sources. We work the signals an engine uses to decide who to recommend — entity clarity, retrievable content, third-party citations — most of which a normal SEO programme never touches.

AI can't recommend what it doesn't know.
