.lawyer FAQs

The most-asked questions from earthlings, answered.

Do I need to be a licensed lawyer?

The registry doesn't verify, but most bar associations expect registrants to actually be licensed practitioners. Misrepresenting yourself as a lawyer can have legal consequences regardless of the TLD.

How does .lawyer compare to .attorney?

Functionally identical. Pick the term your audience uses — "lawyer" is more universal English, "attorney" is more US-specific.

Is .lawyer good for SEO?

It signals the profession immediately, which helps with local-search relevance for legal queries.
