You may decide that your firm should have a website and social media presence. Think about:
- how much time you have to manage the site and accounts
- if your site will deal with enquiries or booking appointments
- the role of your online presence in maintaining the integrity and reputation of your firm
- risks of being online and how they can be managed, for example account hacking or cloning

Transparency Requirements
Make sure you comply with transparency requirements. They apply to our regulated firms providing legal services as set out at Annex A to the Rules.
The rules mandate the information that firms must publish. Even if you do not have a website, you will be required to make the information available to consumers upon request.
You can set out the benefits to a consumer of using your firm and what you can offer that might differentiate you from your competitors. We have provided examples within the Transparency Guidance.
