Law firms · Social media

Share legal awareness, not case results or client testimonials.

Social media marketing for a law firm means posting legal awareness content and general updates on law changes, staying within the profession's restrictions on advertising specific outcomes or soliciting clients. GullySales runs this calendar to build informed credibility rather than promotional reach.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

Also for law firms

Sales and marketing for law firms, the overview.

Last updated 17 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For law firms

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

“Legal awareness posts build credibility without soliciting”
A short post explaining a recent change in property registration rules informs your audience without promoting a specific service.
“Case results and testimonials are restricted”
A specific case outcome or a client testimonial reads as soliciting work under the Bar Council's rules, so the firm posts neither.
“LinkedIn suits corporate and professional audiences”
A firm working with businesses reaches decision makers more effectively on LinkedIn than on a purely visual platform.

What we do

What we deliver for law firms.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

A legal awareness content calendar
A month-by-month plan of posts explaining recent law changes relevant to your audience, without promoting a specific service.
Result: Followers see the firm as informed, without a promotional post.
A written rule on outcomes and testimonials
A rule recorded for the team that case outcomes and client testimonials stay off the firm's channels, checked against the Bar Council's rules.
Result: No result or testimonial appears by accident.
A LinkedIn plan for corporate audiences
A posting plan aimed at business decision-makers on LinkedIn, distinct from a general consumer-facing platform.
Result: Corporate audiences see the firm where they actually spend time.
A directory profile maintained alongside social
A properly filled directory listing maintained alongside the social calendar, since both carry weight for this audience.
Result: Professional audiences find consistent information wherever they look.
A review of posts against guidance
A check that published posts still sit within current Bar Council guidance, with any needed correction made promptly.
Result: Social activity keeps building credibility without compliance risk.

Platform for this buyer

Where clients and referrers read about law, and what to post for each.

LinkedIn for business owners and professionals: Explain a recent legal change in plain words for a business owner. Cite the order or notification, say who is affected and keep to general information.
YouTube explainers on common questions: A short video on what a legal notice is or what a sale agreement should state. Make clear it is general information and not advice on a particular case.
Instagram carousels for family and property practices: A document checklist, such as what to carry to a property registration or what a will should cover. Keep it general and avoid any promise of outcome.
WhatsApp Business for consultation requests: List practice areas and how to book a consultation. Do not give legal opinions in chat. Move the person to a consultation where facts can be heard in full.
Google Business Profile posts: Post office address, hours and practice areas in plain words. Do not use words such as best or specialist unless your council permits.
What not to post: No client names, cases in progress, wins, testimonials or fee offers. Bar Council rules on advertising are strict and change, so check the current rules before any post.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

The plan depends on posting case wins or client praise, which the advertising rules do not allow.
Nobody can reply to a reader's legal question without risking advice in public, so comments would sit unanswered.
No lawyer has time to review a post for accuracy before it goes up, and an unchecked post puts the firm at risk.

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Confirm audience, platforms and access
We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.
2
Review the current presence
We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.
3
Build the calendar
Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.
4
Create, approve and publish
Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.
5
Record enquiries and adjust
Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need

Can we mention winning a case?

No. Citing a result reads as soliciting work, which the Bar Council's rules restrict, and the matter belongs to the client. Publish what the law is, not what the firm won, and check anything borderline with your own bar council.

Which platform matters most for a law firm?

LinkedIn for corporate and professional audiences, alongside a properly completed legal directory listing.

A reader asks a legal question in the comments. Can we answer?

Do not give advice on a specific situation in public. Reply that the answer depends on the facts and invite them to book a consultation. A general point about the law, linked to the source, is acceptable. Do not collect a reader's case details in the comments.

Should junior associates post from their own profiles?

Advertising restrictions apply to individual advocates too, so agree a written policy. State what they may post, such as articles and event attendance, and what they may not, such as client matters or results. Ask a partner to approve anything about the firm.

How much does it cost?

There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.

How long is the contract?

The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.

How soon will we see results?

It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.

Who will actually do the work?

The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
