Clear before you share
You should always know who will receive your details.
Before matching opens, we will name every participating firm, explain why it may be suitable and show the exact commercial arrangement. The service will compare its participating panel rather than the whole legal market.
See how matching will workBefore any details are shared, the live service will name the recipient and ask for your consent. The independent regulated firm will decide whether it can help and provide its own terms.
See how matching will workStraight answers
A useful starting point, with clear boundaries.
The guidance is available now. Legal advice and representation can only come from an independent regulated firm that accepts a matter.
Is Professional Regulation Guide a law firm?
No. It is a commercial lead-generation and solicitor-matching service operated by Ethical Digital Marketing Limited, company number 680776, in Unit 2 Shearwater, Pier Road, Kinsale, Co. Cork, P17 V124, Ireland. It is not a regulator and does not provide legal advice or act for you.
Who would provide legal advice?
An independent regulated firm would decide whether to accept your matter and, if it did, contract with you separately.
Can I request an introduction now?
Not yet. The participating panel, referral terms and privacy arrangements must be verified before the matching form is activated.
