Write for Us Legal: Legal Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most legal content is either so cautious it says nothing or so salesy it reads like an advert. What this blog wants is a clear explanation of a legal question small business owners face, drawn from real cases or real work, written so a non lawyer finishes it knowing what to do next.

My readers run small businesses and freelance careers. They hit contracts, disputes, data rules and hiring questions without an in house lawyer, so a legal post has to explain the situation plainly, show what usually happens, and say when to get professional help.

60-second legal guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you worked on the kind of matter you describe
• Is it written for a business owner, not another lawyer
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you said clearly when the reader should get professional advice

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• A contract clause small businesses keep getting wrong, with a real example
• What happens step by step in a common dispute, from someone who has handled them
• How a law firm won clients through content or referrals, with the result
• A data protection or privacy change explained for owners, with what to do this month
• Legal tech that saved a firm real hours, and what it replaced

If your post could be published on any legal site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Posts that give specific legal advice without saying when to get a lawyer
• Promotion of one firm, service or case outcome
• Generic lists of legal tips anyone could write
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong legal pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about why every business needs a good lawyer." A strong one says "Most of the freelancer disputes I see start with one missing line about who owns the work, so I want to show the clause, three real situations where it mattered, and how to add it to a template today." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• One clause and the disputes it prevents
• A common dispute explained step by step
• Law firm marketing with a result
• A privacy rule change made simple
• A contrarian view on DIY legal templates

Frequently asked questions

Do you accept law guest posts?

Yes. Law guest posts are welcome from lawyers, law firm owners and legal marketers who have handled the situation they describe. I publish law articles written for business owners, with a real example and a clear point on when to get professional advice, and decline posts written only to promote one firm.

Does Lilach Bullock accept legal guest posts?

Yes. Legal guest posts are welcome from a lawyer, paralegal, legal operations lead or law firm marketers and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline legal advice dressed up as a blog post.

What legal topics do you accept?

We accept contracts and clauses for small businesses, disputes explained step by step, employment and hiring questions, privacy and data rules, law firm marketing, and legal tech that saves time. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of legal.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a legal guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a legal guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes a legal pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: Most of the freelancer disputes I see start with one missing line about who owns the work, so I want to show the clause, three real situations where it mattered, and how to add it to a template today.
