The .attorney top-level domain (TLD) is a generic gTLD that was delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on May 31, 2014. The registry operator for this TLD is Donuts Registry, a subsidiary of Victor North, LLC. The application for .attorney was successful in ICANN's New gTLD Program and passed all the necessary processes to become a registered domain extension. This TLD is intended for individuals and organizations associated with the legal profession, including lawyers, attorneys-in-fact, law schools, paralegals, legal support companies, and legal periodicals, among others.
There were initial concerns regarding the .attorney domain due to a GAC Early Warning issued against it in 2012. The warning was issued by Heather Dryden, the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, who expressed concern over consumer harm due to insufficient protection mechanisms in the application. However, Donuts, the registry operator, assured that they would not artificially deny access to the TLD based on identity alone without legal cause. Instead, they committed to an extensive array of protections against abuse, including trademark infringement and other forms of malicious activity. There are no restrictions on owning or registering second-level domains in this TLD, ensuring open access for all legitimate registrants.
