Yes, a lawyer may use a keyword that includes the name of a competing lawyer--if the use of the keyword does not result in a false, misleading, or deceptive advertising practice. Law firms competing in the Internet age have employed competitive keyword advertising to attract new clients. Competitive keyword advertising involves the use of a competing lawyer's name as a keyword in Internet search engines to attract traffic to the advertiser's website. For example, Lawyer Allie Able might pay a search engine to preferentially return a link to her website when a potential client searches for her competitor, Lawyer Bobby Brown. Such a search might result in Allie Able's advertisements appearing preferentially as an “ad” above the search results.   This practice does not run afoul of the rules of professional conduct if the practice is not false, misleading, or deceptive. See Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct, r. 7.2(C)(1)(A)-(C); see also Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct, r. 8.4(c). The principal issue presented by competitive keyword advertising is whether and when the practice is “false or misleading.”   Relevant Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct The Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct do not specifically address whether a lawyer may use a competitor’s name to trigger the preferential display of the lawyer’s own advertisement. Two rules, however, bear on the issue.  First, Rule 7.2 provides as follows: (1) Statements About Legal Services. A lawyer shall not make or permit to be made a false, misleading or deceptive communication about the lawyer, the lawyer’s services or the law firm’s services. A communication violates this Rule if it: (A) contains a material misrepresentation of fact or law; (B) is false, misleading or deceptive; (C) fails to disclose material information necessary to prevent the information supplied from being false, misleading or deceptive. See Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct, r. 7.2(C)(1)(A)-(C) S
