.lawyer domain names
A descriptive address for a legal practice or resource.
A .lawyer domain makes the subject of a site immediately apparent. A practice name, specialist resource or educational project should clearly explain who operates it and the jurisdiction it covers.

Is .lawyer right for your idea?
Separate information from client advice
An educational resource and a legal practice need different explanations. Make the site's purpose and contact process clear before inviting people to share case details.
Choose terminology your audience uses
Lawyer is broadly understood, but some clients search for a solicitor or another local professional title. Use the wording that accurately describes your service in the page content.

Questions about .lawyer domains
Does .lawyer confer a legal qualification?
No. Domain ownership is separate from professional authorisation. Registry policies prohibit falsely claiming credentials associated with an ending.
Which .lawyer registration periods can I choose?
Standard .lawyer registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I use .lawyer with my existing website?
Yes, if your website provider supports a custom domain. Follow its DNS connection instructions. Registration and any paid website service are separate.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
