Air Design has the expertise to transform brands during pivotal moments of growth, delivering strategic design solutions that align with business growth and transformation.

Over our decade-long partnership, we served as the trusted design and brand consultants to Norton Rose Fulbright, supporting the firm through a number of significant milestones, including its combination with US law firm Fulbright & Jaworski in 2013, which created Norton Rose Fulbright.

At that pivotal stage in the firm’s evolution, the newly combined business required a refreshed brand identity that reflected its position as one of the world’s leading global law firms. The objective was to modernise the brand, present a confident and professional image and create a cohesive identity that would support the firm’s expansion while retaining the strength and recognition of the existing Norton Rose brand.

  • Modernisation with Consistency – We developed an updated brand identity that could be adopted across the newly-combined global firm, creating a cohesive and sophisticated presence across all touchpoints.
  • Sophistication and Trust – The evolved identity reflected the broader capabilities, international reach and enhanced client offering of the combined firm.
  • Preserving Brand Equity – While introducing contemporary design elements, we retained the established recognition and trust associated with the Norton Rose name, ensuring continuity during a period of significant change.
  • Lasting Impact – The brand identity provided a strong foundation for Norton Rose Fulbright’s global growth and helped establish a clear and consistent presence across its international network.
