Disclosure: ownership, sponsors and affiliate links

By Chancery Labs editorial team. Updated .

LawFirmAccountingSoftware.com is owned by Chancery AI Ltd, a company that sells AI software and consultancy to law firms. The site plans to earn money from one labeled sponsor per category, and no vendor can pay to be listed, to move up a table or to change what we write.

Who owns this site

This site is owned by Chancery AI Ltd, which trades as Chancery Labs and is based in Leeds, UK. Chancery Labs sells AI software and consultancy to law firms. It sells no practice management, billing, accounting or payment software, and no Chancery product is listed, ranked or recommended on this site. Because the owner sells to law firms, this is a publication owned by a company in the legal market. We also say so on our about page.

How the site makes money

Sponsorship. Each category can have one sponsor, shown in a separate block labeled “Sponsor” on that category’s pages. Today the site has no sponsors.

Affiliate links. Some vendors pay a commission when a visitor follows a tracked link and becomes a paying customer. The site can use these links, but they are switched off: every vendor link today is a plain link that earns nothing. If one is switched on, it will carry rel="sponsored", which tells search engines it is paid, and a disclosure will appear just above the first such link on the page.

What we do not do. The site has no quote-request or lead forms, no display advertising and no email sign-up. The contact form is for questions, corrections and sponsorship inquiries, not for requesting quotes.

What a sponsor gets, and what it does not

A sponsor gets a block labeled “Sponsor” on its category’s pages, with its name, a link and a short description. Its link is marked as paid.

A sponsor does not get:

  • a place in any comparison table, or a higher place in one
  • any say in which vendors are included or left out
  • any say in the prices we show, the labels on them or what we write about any product, including its own

If a sponsor is also a vendor we list, it is researched, labeled and ordered exactly as it would be if it were not a sponsor. Vendors interested in sponsoring a category can read the sponsorship offer.

How payment is kept out of the rankings

The order of every table comes from a fixed cost rule, set out in our research methodology. The code that sets the order cannot see sponsor or affiliate data. Every build of the site runs an automated test: it builds the site again with all sponsor and affiliate data changed, compares every page, and fails if the order or wording changes anywhere other than the sponsor block, the paid-link notice and the vendor links themselves.

A disclosure must be clear and sit close to the link it is about, not only in a footer. So any page with a paid link shows its own disclosure just above the first one, as well as the ownership statement here and on our about page.

Corrections

If you think a sponsor or a paid link has affected what we say, or you find any other mistake, tell us through the contact form.
