Concept
The visually distinctive style made the most of the written words. Words are, after all, the tools of the trade for lawyers, and this visual style was both appealing and challenging. The imaginative wordplay helped to express the idea of the challenge and creative thinking.

Our copywriting, messaging and brand expression work needed to convey the getting things done ethos that Linklaters is known for. If there is a way, they will find it.
As one of the leading premium global law firms, they undertake the most important and challenging assignments for the world’s leading companies, financial institutions and governments, helping them to achieve their objectives by solving their most complex and important legal issues.
Linklaters believe they are the firm that delivers what many consider unachievable. In short, if Linklaters cannot do it, then no one can. This philosophy is central to everything that they do and has been distilled into their core brand positioning, ‘achieving the unachievable’. It’s this positioning that differentiates Linklaters from other leading global law firms.
