Ethics and compliance

Peak Leverage is a technology and operations consultancy. We do not provide legal advice. Nothing on peakleverage.com or in our deliverables should be construed as guidance about a firm's own ethical obligations. Final compliance decisions belong with the firm's attorneys and, where applicable, the firm's bar counsel.

Our pricing is fixed and disclosed before any engagement begins. We do not accept any portion of legal fees, contingency recoveries, or settlements. We do not sell pay-per-lead arrangements. The firm pays Peak Leverage for website, intake, hosting, and operations work.

Practice Audit deliverables and Custom Business System builds may include website copy, intake forms, and follow-up workflows. We design these to support the firm's compliance review under ABA Model Rules 7.1 through 7.5 and applicable state advertising rules. Final approval belongs to the firm.

No prohibited in-person, telephonic, or real-time electronic solicitation.No false or misleading communications about the firm or its services.No comparative claims that cannot be factually substantiated.No representation guarantees or implied promises of outcome.State-bar disclaimers, advertising-material notices, and past-results disclaimers included when the firm identifies them as required.

State bar rules vary. We work from ABA Model Rules as a baseline and adapt to jurisdiction-specific requirements when the firm provides them. We rely on the firm or its counsel to approve final marketing, disclaimer, testimonial, and intake language before launch.

Any client testimonial, review, case result, or representative matter shown on a firm's website should be approved by the firm before publication. We can include disclaimer surfaces and structured approval steps, but the firm remains responsible for deciding what is allowed in its jurisdiction.

We do not provide legal representation. As a business practice, we avoid serving directly competing firms in the same practice area and metropolitan market at the same time unless both sides understand the boundary. Disclose your geography and practice focus during onboarding and we will flag any existing engagement that appears to create a commercial conflict.
