Profession-Specific Requirements: What Each Role Must Include
Legal professionals (solicitors, barristers, in-house counsel)
Required: SRA authorisation number (England & Wales solicitors), registered firm name (must match Companies House), registered office address, and company number. Optional: direct dial, LinkedIn profile. Avoid personal social accounts entirely.
NHS clinicians (GPs, hospital doctors, nurses, allied health)
Required: GMC or NMC registration number, clinical grade/specialty, NHS Trust or GP practice name, and contact details for administrative queries. Include a line that email is not appropriate for urgent medical concerns. No personal social media.
UK limited company directors and employees
Required by the Companies Act 2006: registered company name, company number, registered office address, and place of registration. This applies to all business emails — not just those to clients. Non-compliance is a criminal offense.
Financial services (IFAs, mortgage brokers, insurance)
Required: FCA registration number, name of the firm as it appears on the FCA register, and a brief regulatory statement. Prohibited: presenting services as guaranteed or making performance claims in the signature.
Freelancers and consultants
No mandatory fields unless operating as a limited company. High-value optionals: portfolio URL, LinkedIn, a professional headshot. If you bill as a sole trader, your business name and contact details are sufficient.
