For law firms and licensing providers

Takedowns for your clients, filed in your firm’s name.

We are the back office for law firms whose clients get copied: clone sites, fake mirrors, impersonating apps and Telegram channels. We find them, file notices with hosts, registrars, app stores and Google, and follow up until they are gone. The client stays yours.

Run personally by Ihor Makushinsky. NDA-first. The terms fit on one page.

Already working this way

An external lawyer who represents several operators runs their takedowns through us. Notices go out in his name under the clients’ powers of attorney; we do the search, drafting, filing and follow-up, and he stays their only contact.

Operational partner

Lawyerd is a partner in Cloudflare’s Brand Protection programme, with API-level access for takedowns on Cloudflare-protected domains: a controlled-access channel for verified enforcement practitioners.

§ 03 · Why firms hand this off

A trademark or a UDRP win does not take down the hundredth mirror.

Your firm already holds what a takedown needs: the trademark, the power of attorney and the client’s trust. What it usually lacks is the machinery for volume. Clone networks move to fresh domains every week, and every copy needs its real host found, a notice filed, a reply chased, a re-check and a line in the report. At hourly rates that costs the client more than it is worth, so the work either does not get done or eats your associates’ week.

Lawyerd is built for exactly this work. Our platform finds the copies, works out who actually hosts each one behind the CDN, files under the statute that fits and follows every notice until the host acts. You keep everything that needs a lawyer’s judgement, and the client sees the results under your name.

§ 04 · Who does what

We take the volume. Everything else stays with you.

We take
  • Clone sites, look-alike domains and fake mirrors, at the host and the registrar
  • Impersonating apps, social profiles and Telegram channels
  • Search delisting: DMCA, GDPR Article 17, right to be forgotten
  • Notices under DMCA §512, trademark law, the Berne Convention and EU Directive 2019/790
  • Evidence for every link: screenshot, hashes, hosting records
  • A client cabinet and a monthly report
Stays with your firm
  • Trademark prosecution and UDRP complaints
  • Litigation
  • Licences and regulator correspondence
  • Corporate, tax and AML/KYC work
  • Advice to the client

Free tools your team can use today: preserve a page as evidence and find a host’s abuse contact.

§ 05 · Ways to work

Three formats. One page of terms.

Exact terms are sent after the first call. Every format starts with a free audit.

Referral

You introduce, we do the work.

After your introduction we agree the scope with the client and run the matter. You receive a share of the client’s payments under a written agreement. Notices go out in our name or yours, as the client prefers.

For firms that do not run takedowns
White-label

Takedowns inside your retainer.

Takedowns become a line in your retainer. We work at a partner price, under your firm’s name. The client sees your reports and never deals with us.

For counsel with retained brand clients
Year-one package

Brand protection, sold with the licence.

You sell a fixed-price annual package with the licence: audit, monitoring, takedowns, delisting and a monthly report. We deliver it; you choose a discount or a referral share.

For licensing and corporate providers
§ 06 · What the client sees

Every link, notice and host reply in one cabinet.

Each clone is followed from the moment it is found to the re-check that confirms it is gone. A monthly report goes on top, and under white-label it carries your firm’s name.

§ 07 · Workflow

From the first audit to the monthly report.

  1. 01

    Name a client’s brand.

    Within 48 hours you get a confidential audit signed by counsel: 3–5 live attacks on the brand, where each is hosted and where each notice should go. Ready to forward to the client.

  2. 02

    Choose the format.

    Referral, white-label or the year-one package. One page of terms and an NDA. Whose name the notices carry is agreed up front.

  3. 03

    We find and file.

    Hosts, registrars, Cloudflare, app stores, Telegram and Google. We file only with trademark rights or a power of attorney, and never against the client’s own mirrors.

  4. 04

    We report.

    A link counts as removed only once our re-check confirms it. A monthly report, under your name if you work white-label.

§ 09 · Common questions

What lawyers ask first.

Can takedown notices go out in our firm’s name?

Yes. Under a white-label arrangement notices are filed in your firm’s name, under your clients’ powers of attorney or trademark authority. Lawyerd does the search, drafting, filing and follow-up as your back office, and the client sees your firm, not ours. Under a referral, the client chooses whose name the notices carry.

Will you contact our client directly?

Only if you want us to. In a referral we speak to the client after your introduction. Under white-label we do not contact the client at all: you remain the only point of contact.

How are referral fees handled?

You receive a share of the client’s payments under a written agreement. The exact terms fit on one page and are sent after the first call. The agreement provides for disclosing the fee to the client; fee-sharing rules differ between bars, so check your own before signing. We do not pay in-house counsel for choosing a vendor.

What stays with our firm?

Trademark prosecution, UDRP complaints, litigation, licences, regulator correspondence, corporate work and advice to the client. We file notices with hosts, registrars, CDNs, app stores, platforms and search engines, and nothing else.

What is in the free audit?

Three to five live attacks on your client’s brand: clone sites, fake mirrors, impersonating apps or channels. For each one, where it is hosted and where the notice should go, with screenshots. Signed by counsel, delivered within 48 hours, written so you can forward it to the client.

Which industries and languages?

Most of our work is for licensed iGaming operators, prop-trading firms, forex and CFD brokers, crypto projects and game studios, across 30+ jurisdictions. Counsel works in English, Ukrainian and Russian.
