What TSL Media does

TSL Media Ltd is a privately held, UK-headquartered (Liverpool) digital marketing agency founded in 2012 that serves exclusively the legal sector. The company's core function is generating qualified, GDPR-compliant leads for law firms through multi-channel paid and organic marketing across social platforms, search engines, and educational content journeys, with cumulative ad spend exceeding £300,000,000 managed across 270+ clients in 6 countries. Around this lead generation core, TSL has assembled an integrated service stack: legal case packaging is delivered through an SRA-registered sister company that converts leads into signed-up cases; litigation funding and tailored professional indemnity insurance are offered in-house; ongoing workflow consultancy and technical support are provided by internal compliance and technical departments; and a proprietary technology platform — built internally because no off-the-shelf solution met requirements — supports case management, lead handling, and panel solicitor relationships, with the panel management module sold as standalone software. The CEO is Fraser Kelly, and the team spans marketing, legal, design, technology, and business development functions. Revenue is generated through a mix of transaction fees on lead generation, professional services fees for case packaging and funding, and recurring subscription fees for the panel management software, sold via direct sales and account management on a quote-based, bespoke pricing model.
