Exhibit C

No. 25-0014

Tran Appellate

A solo attorney stepping off the BigLaw treadmill needed a brand that billed like a firm. Counsel built the identity, the website, and the positioning strategy. First-year billing rate: $850/hr.

"I needed people to see a firm, not a freelancer. Counsel made that happen."

— Principal, Tran Appellate

The Strategic Brief

The argument
starts before
you speak.

[see p. 3]

The Problem

Most law firm brands were built by someone who had never read a brief. They default to navy, serif, handshake. The result is a market where distinction is impossible and every firm looks like a proxy for every other firm.

01
[cf. Hargreaves]

The Insight

A law firm's brand is its first argument. Before the partner speaks, before the pitch deck opens, before the retainer is signed — the identity is already making the case. Or losing it.

02
[exhibit C]

The Method

We start with the brief. Not a creative brief — the actual legal brief. The way your firm argues tells us everything about how it should look. Precision, rhythm, authority. These aren't design values. They're litigation values.

03
"We don't design brands for law firms. We file them."

— Counsel Studio, Est. 2021

Deliberate.
