/ OBJECTIVE

With significant transformation in the last 10 years, this law firm’s brand was stuck where it had been; not where they’re going.

New offices, strategic plan, core values, vision, purpose, positioning, and a refined brand name — this was the time to create a new visual identity.

/ IDEA

We created new branding grounded in this positioning: West Coast, Defense Lawyers, and Collaborative Teams.

Branding Process

S T R A T E G Y, T H E N B R A N D I N G

A strong brand is rooted in brand strategy, which means having well-articulated Purpose, Vision, Core Values and Positioning statements.

During a half-day workshop with the branding committee, we engaged in group prioritization exercises to narrow a lengthy list of firm attributes to three unique differentiators:

West Coast – We have deep knowledge of the law in CA, OR, and WA.

Defense lawyers with hands-of trial experience – We actually go to trial,

Collaborative Teams – Many minds contribute to resolve our client’s challenging legal issues

P O S I T I O N I N G S T A T E M E N T

From those three unique differentiators, we developed a positioning statement that defines the firm type (West Coast defense lawyers), how it is unique (hands-on trial experience and collaborative teams).

We are a West Coast firm of defense lawyers with hands-on trial experience. Our collaborative teams guide clients in resolving challenging legal issues.
