Step 3: Set Up Your Profile

Lawyer Profile - Set Up Your Public Profile

Where to Go​

Lawyer Portal → My Profile

What to Complete​

Profile Photo​

Upload a professional headshot (JPG or PNG, at least 400×400px). Profiles with photos receive significantly more enquiries than those without.

Professional Biography​

Write a bio of at least 100 words. Good bios:

  • Explain your background and experience
  • List the types of matters you specialise in
  • Mention any notable achievements or areas of focus
  • Are written in plain English (avoid jargon where possible)

Practice Areas and Sub-Categories​

You selected practice areas during sign-up. In your profile, also add sub-categories - the specific types of work within each area. Sub-categories are crucial for AI matching - clients searching for "unfair dismissal" are matched to lawyers who have "unfair dismissal" as a sub-category, not just "employment law."

Hourly Rate​

Set your standard hourly rate in GBP. This is displayed on your profile and used in AI matching budget scoring.

Availability​

Set your working hours so the calendar system can show accurate booking slots to clients.

Languages​

Add any languages you work in (other than English). This helps clients who prefer to communicate in their native language.

Profile Completeness​

Your dashboard shows a profile completeness score. A complete profile (photo + bio + sub-categories + hourly rate + availability) scores significantly higher in search results.
