Profile sections and content for a lawyer
Your Websta profile page acts as a small website for your practice. Start with a clear description of the legal areas you work in: corporate law, family law, property, contracts, disputes, or other specialisms. Keep the description factual and straightforward. People searching for a lawyer want to know quickly what you do.
Add a professional photo of yourself. A headshot in business clothing helps clients recognise you and builds trust. If you work from an office, a photo of your workspace can also be useful.
List your services as separate items so people can find you by what they need. For example: contract review, divorce advice, business formation, debt recovery, or lease negotiation. Each service should have a short description of what is included.
Decide whether to offer online booking for consultation slots or to use quote requests. Many lawyers prefer quote requests because each case varies. A client fills in a form with details of their matter, and you respond with terms and availability. Booking works if you offer fixed-price consultations at set times.
Add information about your qualifications, bar registration, and any areas of focus. You can also mention whether you work with businesses, individuals, or both, and if you serve clients in Danish, English, or other languages.
Languages for your profile
Publish your profile in Danish if that is your main practice language. If you also serve English-speaking clients, add an English version of your profile. Many international companies, expats, and English-speaking individuals in Denmark search for English-language legal advice. A bilingual profile broadens your reach without duplicating effort on Websta - you add translations once and they appear together.
How people search for lawyers in Denmark
On Websta, people search by service and location. Someone needing a lawyer will search for their legal matter - for example, 'family law' or 'contract review' - and their town or region. Websta shows matching providers nearby. This means your profile becomes visible when someone in your area searches for the type of law you practise.
People also post tasks on the marketplace describing their legal need, and providers like you can make offers. A small number of lawyers use Websta in Denmark at present, so competition in the marketplace is limited. This is worth checking as you consider whether the platform suits your practice.
Working as an independent lawyer in Denmark
As a sole trader or self-employed lawyer in Denmark, you must check the rules with the Danish Bar and Law Society (Danske Advokaters Fællesråd) or the relevant bar council in your region. Key points to verify include: whether you need a specific business licence or registration, what rules apply to advertising and client communication, whether you must hold professional indemnity insurance, and what tax and VAT obligations apply to your practice.
If you accept card payments through Websta, payments are processed via Stripe and paid out to your own Danish bank account. You set your own prices and terms. Keep records of income and expenses for tax purposes.
Check whether your bar or council has rules about online profiles, client data handling, and confidentiality when using third-party platforms. Data protection under the GDPR applies to any client information you collect through your Websta profile.
What to add in your first hour
Start with the basics to get your profile live. Write a short paragraph about yourself and your practice areas. Upload one professional photo. List three to five core services you offer, with a sentence or two about each. Decide if you want online booking or quote requests, and add your preferred contact method.
Add your location - town or region - so people can find you on the map. If you speak English as well as Danish, note this in your profile. You can refine and expand your profile over time, but these core elements are enough to start appearing in local searches.
Quote requests versus online booking
Quote requests work well for legal services because each case is different and requires a conversation. A client describes their matter through a form, and you respond with an initial assessment and your terms. This protects both you and the client by ensuring clarity before work begins.
Online booking is useful if you offer fixed services at set prices - for example, a one-hour initial consultation at a fixed rate on specific days and times. Some lawyers offer both: booking for standard consultations and quote requests for complex matters.
