Solicitor confidentiality is non-negotiable, so firm names are anonymised. The case studies below are real engagements with real numbers. If you want a verifiable reference, I’ll connect you with current clients after the intro call.
Three reasons confidentiality is the default.
Published case studies tell competitors exactly what’s working. For a firm in a tight regional market, that’s a strategic gift to the people you’re trying to outflank. Anonymisation protects the strategy.
The line between legitimate case study and SRA-questionable promotion is finer than many agencies acknowledge. Anonymising sidesteps the question entirely while preserving the substance.
Most law firms simply prefer it. They want to win in their market, not be the case study a competitor reads to copy them. The reference call route lets verified prospects get the proof — without the rest of the market seeing it.

The numbers above are real. The firms are real. The work is real. What’s hidden is the firm name — because that’s what good clients prefer, and that’s what SRA expectations point toward.
Partner-to-partner reference calls with current clients are available after the intro call. Typically 30 minutes, candid, real opinion. The clients I work with are usually happy to do this for serious prospects.
I can show you live Google, Maps and AI assistant results for the markets where I work with current clients (without naming them). You see the visibility yourself.
Anonymised sample of the SRA-Compliant AI Visibility Audit and a sample monthly report are shareable on request. You see exactly what you’d receive.
Book a 30-minute intro call. After we’ve talked through your firm and your market, I’ll line up a reference call with a current client in a non-competing market.
