.legal

.legal is a generic top-level domain with a direct connection to law, legal information and professional legal services. Its adjective form is broad enough for firms, software, publishers and other law-related projects.

The extension can suit law firms, legal technology, document services, directories, compliance resources, education and legal publishers. A practice area, location or brand before .legal can make the site's subject immediately clear.

The domain is not a professional credential. Registering a .legal name does not prove that the operator is a lawyer, law firm, licensed service provider or authorized government resource. Legal titles and services are regulated differently across jurisdictions.

For informational sites, the distinction between general information and professional legal advice should also be clear where relevant.

.legal is an open generic top-level domain under a standard non-sponsored ICANN registry framework, subject to registry policies, applicable laws, reserved names, premium classifications and third-party rights.
