For firms receiving referrals

Keep a permanent, verifiable record of every referral you receive

A firm sent you a referral through Ethix. Receiving referral certificates and keeping your referral history costs nothing, and you don't need an account to start.

New to Ethix? Here's the short version.

Ethix is referral management software for law firms. When another firm refers you a matter through it, the referral becomes a timestamped certificate anyone can verify — instead of an email that gets buried or a phone call nobody wrote down. You didn't have to sign up for that to happen, and you don't have to sign up to keep receiving them.

Why the record matters

Most firms have no formal proof of the referrals sent to them. A certificate is that proof.

A verified certificate for each referral

Every referral sent to you through Ethix produces a timestamped certificate with its own ID — who referred the matter, to whom, when, and on what fee terms.

Proof that does not depend on memory

Without it, the record of a referral is an email, a phone call, or a note somebody meant to write. Certificates are permanent and independently verifiable.

Nothing to install, nothing to pay

Receiving certificates and opening the status link a firm sends you is free. There is no partner fee and Ethix never takes a percentage of a fee.

Built to hold very little

Referral records carry client initials and an identifier — not case files. It is designed to be the least sensitive system in your workflow.

See where your work comes from

With an account, your referral history becomes reporting: which relationships send you retained matters, and which fees are still outstanding.

Send your own referrals the same way

Refer a matter out and your partner gets the same certificate and live status link — free for them, with no signup on their side either.

Common questions

Do I need to pay to receive referral certificates?
No. Receiving a referral through Ethix, opening the certificate, and using the status link the referring firm sends you are all free. Only firms that send referrals and want full tracking and reporting subscribe.
Do I need an account to get started?
No account is needed to receive certificates or use a status link. An account is what lets you see all of your received referrals in one place, run reports, and send your own referrals.
What is Ethix?
Ethix is referral management software for law firms and other referral-driven professionals. It records each referral, issues a verifiable certificate, keeps both sides updated on status, and reports on outcomes and fees. It is not a marketplace and does not take a cut of any fee.
How do I confirm a certificate is genuine?
Enter its certificate ID on the public verification page. It confirms the issue date, the two firms involved, and whether the certificate is valid — and nothing else.
What does an account cost?
Plans start at $69/month for a single user and include every feature; plans differ only by the number of users. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no credit card is required to start.
