LegalNet by Splash

Your firm doesn’t have
a marketing department.
It has LegalNet.

A complete website for Irish solicitors. A Will Planner, ten calculators and sixteen plain English client guides, each one carrying your name and ending with your number. The client gets their answer on your site. You get their name, their number and a first meeting that is already half prepared.

Links out to Revenue, Citizens Information or a quote site. Nobody leaves your website to get an answer.

A month, everything included. No setup fee, no minimum contract.

1996

Splash has built Irish business websites since 1996. 166 accountancy practices run on the same machine as LegalNet.

The problem

Four things your website
is almost certainly not doing.

You cannot see them01

People are on your website right now. You will never know who.

A house purchase, an executor, a separation. They arrive with a real question, look around and leave. Unless one of them happens to ring, your website tells you nothing. A calculator or a Will Planner is the thing a stranger will willingly give a phone number to.

LegalNet: The Will Planner and ten calculators turn visitors into named enquiries
The rules apply02

Your website is advertising, and solicitor advertising is regulated.

Specialism claims, comparisons, the way fees are mentioned, the promises a page makes. All of it sits on a site most firms last touched years ago, written by whoever built it, checked by nobody since.

LegalNet: Every page written with the advertising rules in mind
The answers live elsewhere03

Your best traffic finishes its journey on somebody else’s site.

Someone wants to know the stamp duty, or whether they need probate at all. Your site sends them to Revenue, Citizens Information or a conveyancing quote site. You did the work of getting them there, and somebody else collected the enquiry.

LegalNet: The answer on your own site, ending with your number
The same call, again04

Your best hours go on explaining the same things.

What happens next, what to bring, why the Land Registry takes months. None of it is billable, and all of it could be written down once, with your name on it.

LegalNet: Sixteen client guides your office sends instead of taking the call
The hidden cost

Most of your week goes on explaining.

What happens next. What to bring. How long it takes. The same twenty minute call, several times a day. Written down once, with your name on it, it stops being a call.

Book a call with Finbarr

Estimates: 15 explaining calls a week across the office, 20 minutes each, 46 working weeks, at €180 an hour ex VAT. LegalNet is €89 a month.

Why the conveyancing tools matter most

Your best clients arrive with a house.
Most firms meet them at probate.

A first purchase is how a practice acquires a client, and everything else follows from it over the next forty years. Miss the first step and you spend a career chasing clients other firms already have.

Age 32

First home.

They search the stamp duty and the full cost of buying. If that calculator is on your site, you get the name.

Weeks later

A will.

A mortgage, a partner, soon a child. The Will Planner follows the purchase naturally.

Age 45

Life happens.

A lease for the business, a separation, a dispute at work. They already know whose number to ring.

Age 70

The estate.

Enduring power of attorney, Fair Deal, then probate for the family. And their children’s first purchase.

One calculator catches them at the start of that chain. Everything after it is repeat work. You never had to win them twice.

What it does, while you work

You run the practice.
The website does the explaining.

The 11pm question,
answered on your site.

Someone has diedBuying a homeMaking a will

Nobody searches for probate. They search for what happens when someone dies. Sixteen plain English guides, laid out by life event, not practice area. Each one ends with your number.

Your website never writes a will. It prepares your client.

The Will Planner is six short steps on your website. The client gathers their thoughts at the kitchen table. You receive a structured instruction sheet, and the first meeting drops from an hour to twenty minutes.

Ten calculators,
each ending with your number.

Stamp duty, cost of buying, Help to Buy, inheritance tax, probate timeline, Fair Deal, redundancy, WRC deadlines and more. The enquiry lands in your inbox with the client’s own figures attached.

Any news on my file? Answered before they ask.

The client is not being difficult. Nobody told them the Land Registry takes months. A what happens next guide, sent from your office on day one, answers the question and keeps a record that you did.

The suite

Tools covering the work
a practice actually does.

Every figure checked against Revenue, the Courts Service and the HSE, and revised within days when a rate or threshold moves. Each tool has its own page with a plain guide, so it answers the question and earns the search.

Kept up to date with Revenue.
You never touch it.

Stamp duty bands, CAT thresholds, Help to Buy limits and every other figure in your calculators and forms.
When Revenue changes a rate, on Budget day or any other day,
we update your site within days.

Personalised client guides

Every guide ends with one written for them.

A client sets their figures, adds a few details, and gets a ten-page printable guide of their own. Their name, their numbers, the timeline, what to bring, tips for their case and space for notes. They arrive at the first meeting prepared, and you skip twenty minutes of basics.

No advice on screen

The calculator starts it.
You finish it.

Every tool runs on public rules, with its assumptions disclosed and a plain note that it is not legal advice. No recommendation is made and no outcome is promised.

The tools tell you who is asking. The advice stays where it belongs, with you, in a meeting, on the record.

The ready reckoner

One file
pays for it.

Membership is €89 per month (€1,068 a year). Put in your own fee and the number of files a year the website brings in, and see what that does against it. This one is for your own maths, not your clients’.

Year one returns your membership
2.8 times over
Fees in year one€3,000
Membership, one year€1,068

Illustrative only, and deliberately conservative. It counts fees on new files alone and ignores the wills, estates and repeat work that follow them, and the time the guides save your office. Prices exclude VAT.

The Law Society angle

Built inside
the rules.

Nothing that draws a complaint.

No specialism claims, no comparisons, no promised outcomes. Any line you dislike, we change.

Clients kept informed, in writing.

Every client gets the steps from your office on day one. Fewer calls, and a record that it happened.

Section 150, earlier.

Fee, outlays and VAT shown before the client rings. The letter lands on someone who knows the shape of the bill.

ID arrives the safe way.

Photo ID and source of funds over an encrypted upload. Not an emailed passport scan.

LegalNet is not a compliance service and does not give regulatory advice.

How it works

Live in
two weeks.

The framework is built already. We dress it for your firm.
Three steps, then it just runs.

1 Week one

A call with Finbarr.

Your practice areas, your people and your towns. We move your details and photos across from your current site.

2 Week two

Your site goes live.

On your domain, with your guides and calculators chosen. Old links redirect, so nothing you have built is lost.

3 Every month

Kept right for you.

Rates, thresholds and the law move. The site moves with them. That is most of what the fee is for.

Questions.

A complete website for the firm, the Will Planner, sixteen client guides, ten calculators, intake forms, secure document upload, hosting, free changes all year and your Google Business Profile. One flat fee, no setup charge.

Neither. You can cancel any month. We have run the same model for accountancy practices since 2014.

We move your firm details, solicitor profiles and photos across, and redirect your old domain so existing links and search results keep working.

Yes. The Will Planner, guides and calculators embed into most existing sites, and the fee is the same because the work behind them is the same.

No trial, but no commitment either. We build the site within two weeks and there is no minimum contract, which is a fairer deal than a trial that ends just as it starts working.

No. Every guide and calculator runs on public rules with its assumptions on screen and a plain note that it is not advice. The advice stays with you, in a meeting, on the record.

It is written with them in mind. No claims of specialism you do not hold, no comparisons, no outcome promises. If your firm has a view on a particular line, we change it.

Straight to you, over an encrypted connection. Nothing is stored on the website. It is not a client portal with logins, which is a different product.

Straight to you, over an encrypted connection. Nothing is stored on the website. It is not a client portal with logins, which is a different product.

We do. Every rate, threshold and time limit is checked against Revenue, the Courts Service and the HSE, and corrected within days when it moves. You do not have to ask.

No, and anybody who says otherwise is selling you something. Citizens Information and the national sites own those terms. What is winnable is local and question-led: your town plus the service. That is where the work goes.

To you alone. When a client finishes the Will Planner or asks for a callback, the details land in your inbox the moment it happens. Splash does not contact your enquiries.

One to two weeks from sign-up, depending on how quickly we get photos and profiles back.

Ring us or email. New solicitor, updated fees, new office hours, a new service line. We make the change at no charge, and most changes are made the same day.

You can, but most members do not. The point of LegalNet is that you do not have to. We make every change for you as part of the membership.
