Context
Ork and Hart Attorneys LP is a Nigerian law firm with a practice spanning Corporate, Maritime, Aviation, Property, Intellectual Property, and Succession Law. The firm engaged Mcafan and partner agency Atmosphere-Unekwu to build a brand identity that reflected the gravitas of their practice and the distinctiveness of their client philosophy.
The Challenge
Nigerian law firms have historically competed on reputation and relationships, not brand. Ork and Hart wanted to be different. They sought a brand that communicated their dual archetype of Caregiver and Sage, projecting both expertise and genuine client care in a sector where most firms default to cold authority.
Our Approach
Mcafan led the brand strategy, defining purpose, positioning, personality, and essence. The Caregiver-Sage archetype became the foundation for a brand voice that was authoritative but approachable. The essence, Integrity-led Advocacy, guided all subsequent identity and communications work. We then developed corporate identity and collateral direction.
