Website Design for Lawyers in Sydney

Websites for Sydney solicitors and small law practices, from a sole practitioner near Parramatta court to a CBD firm with several partners: a page for each area of law you practise, credentials a client can check for themselves, and a short, confidential way to make first contact.

What a Sydney law firm's website needs

Someone hunting for a solicitor in Sydney tends to search an area of law plus a place, along the lines of “family lawyer Parramatta” or “wills Sutherland”. Within a page or two they decide whether you handle their kind of problem, whether you're properly qualified, and what talking to you first will involve. Your site should answer those three questions in that order.

  • A page for each area of law

    Family law, wills and estates, criminal and traffic, employment, property: every area you genuinely practise gets its own page, in your words, saying which matters you take on and what the first step looks like. Each page can also name the suburbs and courts that matter for that work, something a single list of services can't do.

  • Specialist accreditation stated exactly

    Where a solicitor holds Law Society of NSW accreditation, we name that person and their accredited area on their profile and use the program's logo exactly as supplied. Accreditation belongs to the individual rather than the firm, so nowhere does the site call the whole practice specialist.

  • Profiles a cautious client can verify

    Each solicitor's name, photo, role, year of admission and areas of practice, with a link to the Law Society's Register of Solicitors so anyone can confirm a current practising certificate without ringing the office.

  • An enquiry form built around confidentiality

    A handful of fields: the area of law, the client's suburb, the best way and time to reach them, whether a message can safely be left, and any court date already listed. If you run a conflict check before discussing a matter, the form asks for the other party's name and says why.

  • Costs explained before anyone calls

    A “from” fee for fixed-price work such as a simple will or a residential conveyance, with a line on what that fee covers, and a plain account of how everything else is charged. If the first appointment costs nothing, say how long it runs and what it includes.

  • Offices, courts and getting there

    Street address, nearest station or light rail stop, parking, and whether you meet by phone or video. A criminal and traffic practice can name the Local Courts it attends most, so a client whose matter is listed at Parramatta or Blacktown knows you'll be there alongside them.

  • Booking that fits your diary

    We can link the booking tool you already use, such as Calendly, from every page, or build a booking and payment system into the site, quoted for your firm.

Lawyers in NSW: the advertising rules and Sydney's local markets

The conduct rules. NSW solicitors practise under the Legal Profession Uniform Law, which also applies in Victoria and Western Australia, and under the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules made for it. Rule 36.1 requires a solicitor or principal to make sure any advertising, marketing or promotion of the solicitor or practice is not false, not misleading or deceptive (or likely to be), not offensive and not prohibited by law. Rule 36.2 adds that a solicitor must not convey a false, misleading or deceptive impression of specialist expertise, and may advertise using the words “accredited specialist”, or post-nominals derived from them, only if accredited by the relevant professional association. A firm's website is promotion, so that applies to every page of it, solicitor profiles included.

Personal injury and work injury. NSW used to prohibit lawyers from advertising personal injury services. The Law Society of NSW's advertising guidance (opens in a new tab) notes that the Uniform Law didn't carry over the ban in the repealed Legal Profession Regulation 2005, and that the Workers Compensation Regulation 2016 left out the ban on advertising work injury legal services that the 2010 regulation contained. Rule 36 still governs how that work, and any result, is described. We lay out the wording you approve and point you to the Law Society for questions about it; we don't give compliance advice. Complaints about NSW lawyers are handled by the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner.

Credentials a client can check. NSW practising certificates are issued by the Law Society's Council. Its online Register of Solicitors lists solicitors who hold a current certificate, shows which of them are Law Society members, and includes accredited specialists. Accreditation comes with conditions: applicants need at least five years of full-time practice and must have worked in the area in each of the three years before applying, for at least a quarter of full-time practice. Only specialists who renew each year may promote themselves as specialists, anyone on leave has to stop holding themselves out as one for that period, and the program's three logos can't be altered. Areas offered in 2026 include family law, elder law, personal injury, employment and industrial law, immigration, children's law, dispute resolution, and planning and environment.

Sydney is many local markets. The Law Society recognises nine suburban law societies inside Sydney: Bankstown & District, City of Sydney, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, Liverpool-Fairfield, North Metropolitan (covering Chatswood, Ryde, North Sydney and Hornsby), Northern Beaches, Parramatta & District, and St George-Sutherland. Clients think the same way, looking for someone nearby or someone who appears in their court. The Downing Centre Local Court is on Liverpool Street in the city; Parramatta Local and District Court is at 12 George Street, with the Children's Court at number 2. Court arrangements also change: the refurbishment of Penrith Courthouse moves its Local Court sittings to Parramatta from 21 December 2026 to mid-March 2027, so a Western Sydney practice whose site tells clients where to go needs to update that page for the period. Text edits like that are covered by the $30 monthly hosting.

Working with us. We're an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St and work with Sydney firms by phone and email. Resolve Forward, a family law dispute resolution practice, is one of our Sydney clients. Partners can look over the draft link when it suits them, and the firm pays nothing until it approves the site.

Legal and professional websites we've built

Neither is a law firm. Resolve Forward is a Sydney family law dispute resolution practice whose clients arrive with the same worries as a law firm's, and Simple Engineers shows published fee ranges working on a quote form, which suits fixed-fee legal work.

Questions Sydney law firms ask us

Can our website say we're specialists?

Rule 36.2 of the conduct rules reserves the words “accredited specialist” for a solicitor accredited by the relevant professional association, such as the Law Society of NSW, and bars any false, misleading or deceptive impression of specialist expertise. Accreditation belongs to the person, not the firm, so it goes on that solicitor's profile for their accredited area. For everyone else we describe the work they do in plain terms; if you're unsure about particular words, the Law Society's advertising guidance is the place to check.

Can a Sydney personal injury firm advertise on its website?

The Law Society of NSW notes that the old NSW bans on advertising personal injury and work injury legal services weren't carried into the Uniform Law or the Workers Compensation Regulation 2016. Rule 36 still applies, so statements about results or fees must not mislead. You approve every word before launch and remain responsible for it.

Should our site list the suburbs and courts we cover?

Where it's accurate, yes. Put your office suburb and the courts you regularly appear in on the practice-area page they relate to. A criminal practice in Parramatta and a family practice in Chatswood serve different people, and saying so helps the right ones find you. We don't make pages for suburbs where you don't work.

Can the enquiry form help with conflict checks?

It can ask for the names of other parties alongside the client's own details, so you can check for a conflict before anyone discusses the matter. We keep the form brief and add a note asking people not to send detailed facts or documents until you've confirmed you can act.

You're in Adelaide. Can you build a website for a Sydney law firm?

Yes. We're an Adelaide (South Australia) web design team working with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, including Resolve Forward in Sydney. You send your words, photos and solicitor details; we build the draft, and you pay once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.

Which package suits a Sydney law firm?

A sole practitioner with one area of law can start with the one-page site at $399. A small firm with two or three areas fits the 3-page site at $899. Where each area of law and each office needs a page of its own, the 8-page site at $1,499 gives that room.

Tell us about your practice

Send us your areas of law, your solicitors' details and where you meet clients. We'll quote and build the draft, and you pay only after you approve it.
