What r/LawFirm Is For

This community is for lawyers who practice solo or in a small firm. It covers the business and practice of law, including attorney-to-attorney referrals, knowledge-sharing, business tips, and marketing tips. It is not for legal analysis or substantive case discussion, and it is not a place to get legal advice.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule named "Spam or self-promotion" is the big one for marketers. It says do not create a post with the purpose of promoting your company or website, and do not post your blog or article. The rule named "Market research" also blocks a common founder move, since it says this subreddit is not an appropriate place to conduct market research for a product or service you are developing or hoping to market. The rule named "No Job Postings" means you cannot use the community to hire. The rule named "Asking for legal advice" keeps the focus on business and practice talk, not case-specific legal questions.

What To Post

A good post here is a genuine question or tip about running a small law firm. You could ask about billing software, client intake, or marketing channels that work for solo attorneys. You could share a lesson you learned about practice management. The key is to bring value without attaching your brand. If you sell a tool for lawyers, you must keep that fact out of the post entirely and let your knowledge speak for itself.

What To Avoid

Do not create a post to promote your company or website, and do not post your blog or article. Do not ask for legal advice. Do not conduct market research for a product or service you are developing or hoping to market. Do not post job listings, whether you are hiring or looking to be hired.
