Sitewide Compliance Enforcement

Status: Complete (major pass done April 2026) Project: Website · Marketing · Branding

What this is

A sitewide enforcement pass of the firm's compliance rules — banned words, color rules, fee messaging, legal accuracy — across every published page. Driven by the firm-wide rules in CLAUDE.md and AI-CONVENTIONS.md:

  • No banned words: fair, justice, compassionate, advocate, expert, specialize, help you, guide you, promise, reasonable
  • No em dashes (use commas, colons, semicolons, periods)
  • No specific contingency fee percentage — the UVP is that the fee never increases for litigation
  • Color rules — orange is accent only, never background
  • KY SOL accuracy — 2 years from last PIP payment, not 1 year

Major passes

Sitewide Compliance Enforcement: 459 Pages/Posts Fixed + CTA Banner Removal (April 2026) — a mass-replace sweep across 459 pages to remove banned words, fix em dashes, correct fee language, and remove a CTA banner that violated color rules. Also swept up some legacy content that had been missed.

/practice-areas/ Compliance Audit, Redesign & Embedded Trust Bar Rollout Spec — narrower pass focused on practice area pages, with a compliance audit and a redesign spec for the embedded trust bar.

How the enforcement works

  • Search via REST API for banned word occurrences
  • Apply per-term replacement mappings that keep meaning intact
  • For phrases (e.g. "help you"), the replacement depends on context and requires an LLM pass rather than a direct sub
  • Diff check before deploy to avoid false positives
  • Protected pages (per the SA Template System protected pages rule) are skipped
