Rule B3: Advertising and Promotion

Rules
  • B3: Advertising and Promotion

    Subject to rules 3.2 and 3.5, you shall be entitled to advertise and promote your services in any way you think fit.

Guidance
  • B3: Advertising Fees

    Where your fees for your services are advertised either by you or by a third party and whether or not you are named in such an advertisement the advertisement must include mention of outlays and VAT with no less prominence than the fees.

  • B3: Mandates

    It is difficult to draw lines between a response to advertising, competitive quoting and touting. It remains the case, however that you should not directly approach someone else's client.

  • B3: Mandates in Criminal Work

    All Mandates requesting the transfer of papers and legal aid relating to a criminal matter shall be completed and executed by the assisted person in the form agreed by the Scottish Legal Aid Board and the Law Society of Scotland.
