1. LSO Rule 4.2. Marketing of Legal Services
The LSO Rules of Professional Conduct, Chapter 4 Rule 4.2 ("Marketing of Legal Services") restricts marketing that is false or misleading, that is likely to mislead, that uses unverifiable superlatives, that suggests qualitative superiority over other lawyers that cannot be objectively verified, or that uses testimonials with emotional appeals.
How we build to it: we write titles around substantiable specifics, your call-to-the-bar year, your degrees (JD / LLB / LLM), LSO Certified Specialist designation in Civil Litigation where it actually exists, your case-type focus over time ("motor-vehicle accident practice since 2009"), your team and roles. We replace "Canada's LARGEST" or "Rolls Royce" headlines with "Toronto motor-vehicle accident representation, full-service, downtown Toronto". The page ranks just as well; it carries no Rule 4.2 exposure.
