Minnesota lawyer advertising rules

Before any Minnesota ad runs.

A plain summary of the official rules, checked October 28, 2026. It is not legal advice: read the rules at the link and ask the bar's ethics line when in doubt. Every ad we write for a Minnesota firm is built to these rules, and you approve it before it runs.

Minnesota has no ad filing, but every online ad must carry the name and contact details of a responsible lawyer or firm and must not suggest past results will repeat.

Who enforces it
Minnesota Supreme Court; enforced by the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility
The rules
Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 7.1 to 7.3, substantially revised effective September 1, 2022
Filing or review
No general filing requirement found in the official rules. The rule text has no filing, pre-approval or record-retention requirement.
Required labels
Rule 7.2(d) requires every communication about your services to include the name and contact information of at least one responsible lawyer or law firm. Contact information can be a website address, phone number, email or office location (comment 12).
Testimonials, results, specialist
Rule 7.1 comment 3 says truthfully reporting a client result can mislead if it creates an unjustified expectation of the same result for other clients, and unsubstantiated claims or comparisons can mislead. Under Rule 7.2(c) a specialist claim must name the certifying organization, and if it is not accredited by the Minnesota Board of Legal Certification the communication must say so.
Online ads
Rule 7.2(a) allows communication through any media. Rule 7.1 comment 5 allows a distinctive website address or social media username if it is not misleading. Rule 7.2 comment 5 allows paying internet lead generators if they do not recommend the lawyer and their communications follow Rule 7.1.
ChatGPT Ads
OpenAI accepts US law-firm ads from firms licensed where the ad runs, after business verification and ad review. A ChatGPT ad aimed at Minnesota needs your Minnesota license, and it is still lawyer advertising under the rules above.

Minnesota law firm marketing, answered plainly.

Yes. OpenAI accepts US law-firm ads from firms licensed where the ad runs, after business verification and ad review, so a Minnesota campaign needs your Minnesota license.

Do Minnesota law firm ads have to be filed with the bar?

We found no general filing requirement in the Minnesota rules. The content rules still apply to every ad, online ones included. Source: Minnesota Supreme Court; enforced by the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility, checked October 28, 2026.
