AI-Ready Profile
Your Profile Is How Attorneys and AI Find You.
Make It Work.
When an attorney searches for an expert in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or a legal AI research tool, what they find is shaped by the structure and content of your online presence. Every EWI profile is built from the ground up to make you discoverable, credible, and citable.
Every profile on EWI is AI-ready. Always free. No upgrade required.
Create Your Profile — It's FreeBuilt for the Way Attorneys Search Today
Attorney search behaviour has shifted. AI tools are now part of how experts get found — or missed.
🔍 Attorneys Use AI to Research Experts
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and legal AI tools are now routinely used to research expert credentials before retention. If your profile isn't structured for AI retrieval, you're not part of that conversation.
📋 Schema Markup Makes You Citable
Every EWI profile includes structured schema.org markup — the machine-readable layer that tells AI tools exactly what your expertise is and what your credentials say about you.
⚖️ Testimony Experience, Clearly Displayed
Your EWI profile prominently shows your testimony and deposition counts — a quick signal attorneys use to assess courtroom experience when vetting experts.
✍️ Content That Works for You
The EWI profile guides you through writing your expertise description and credentials using language calibrated for both attorney searches and AI retrieval — you write it once, it works continuously.
🌐 Indexed in the EWI Expert Directory
Your profile appears in EWI's expert directory — a searchable, structured database that attorneys and legal researchers use to find and vet candidates in specific disciplines.
🔒 You Control Your Narrative
You decide what appears publicly. Present exactly what you want attorneys to see — your credentials, case types, geographic reach, and availability — without exposing anything you prefer to keep private.
What Every EWI Profile Includes
All of this is included in your free profile — no tier, no upgrade, no expiry.
Schema.org Structured Data
Machine-readable markup that identifies you as a credentialled expert to search engines and AI tools — your expertise, jurisdiction, and credentials in a format they understand natively.
AI-Optimised Profile Content
Guided fields help you write your expertise description, case experience summary, and credentials in language that is both attorney-readable and AI-retrievable.
Testimony and Deposition Counts
Your profile displays the number of times you've testified and given depositions — a quick reference attorneys use when assessing courtroom experience. You enter and control this information.
Publications and Articles Linked
Articles you publish on EWI appear on your profile automatically, building a content record that signals active thought leadership to both attorneys and AI research tools.
Maintained as AI Standards Evolve
Schema standards and AI retrieval protocols change. EWI updates the technical layer of every profile as requirements evolve — you update your credentials, we handle the infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about your EWI profile and how it works.
Is the EWI profile really free? Is there a catch? +
Yes, genuinely free. Creating and maintaining a fully AI-ready EWI profile — including schema markup, directory listing, and thought leadership integration — costs nothing and has no expiry. There is no premium tier for the profile itself.
How does schema markup actually help me get found? +
Schema.org markup is structured data that tells AI tools — search engines, ChatGPT, Perplexity, legal AI — exactly what you do and what your credentials are. Without it, AI tools have to guess from unstructured text. With it, your credentials are machine-readable and citable.
Do I need to update anything as AI standards change? +
No. EWI maintains the technical layer of every profile. When schema standards or AI retrieval protocols update, we update the underlying markup. You keep your credentials and experience current — we handle the technical infrastructure.
Can I control what appears publicly on my profile? +
Yes. You control visibility for every section of your profile — contact information, testimony counts, publications, and credentials. Nothing is made public without your deliberate choice.
Does an EWI profile work well alongside a personal website? +
Yes — they serve complementary purposes. Your EWI profile puts you in a structured, indexed directory that attorneys and AI tools already reference. A personal website gives you a standalone credential hub. Many experts maintain both; EWI's AI-Optimized Website service is designed to work alongside your profile.
