Truly Deeply is proud to share the new brand strategy and identity for law firm, Wotton Kearney.
The new brand aligns with its modern identity as Asia Pacific’s insurance and risk legal business and its future global aspirations.
Wotton Kearney (WK) has always differentiated itself by its deep expertise in insurance law, however as its clients’ needs have changed, so too has the firm. From expanding into more areas of emerging risks – from cyber, workplace, health and class actions, to investing heavily into innovation and AI, and most recently expanding into Asia, Wotton Kearney has evolved significantly since it was founded in 2002.
Underpinning the brand identity is the firm’s brand essence – big thinkers, trail blazers, impactful humans – which highlights WK’s focus on solving the most complicated client challenges, its culture of innovation and transformation, and the importance of making a genuine and positive contribution to the firm’s clients, people and communities.
David Kearney, Chief Executive Partner, Wotton Kearney, said the firm has continued to push boundaries and the new brand reflects this.
“I’m delighted with where we’ve landed on what is at our core, our brand essence – it truly captures the heart and soul of WK, who we are today and who we aspire to be tomorrow,” he said.
At its heart lies a WK monogram, enhanced by bold directional elements that reflect WK’s forward-thinking approach and lasting impact.
The design marries minimalist strength with modern geometry, with a signature black frame that stands in powerful contrast to dynamic, ascending chevrons. The chevrons also provide a versatile element that adapts to horizontal, vertical, or standalone applications and embodies the firm’s upward trajectory and relentless innovation.
Completing the identity is a curated collection of imagery that reveals both the evident and the subtle. This duality celebrates WK’s ability to grasp fine details while never losing sight of the broader perspective. A visual testament to its unique worldview, it also represents how WK brings clarity to its client’s challenges, markets, and opportunities.
Wotton Kearney’s new brand identity was developed through a lengthy process of workshops and surveys, in consultation with firm leaders and ‘cultural cheerleaders’ to ensure it captured a diverse range of perspectives of what WK means to the firm’s clients and people.
Founded in 2002, Wotton Kearney has grown from two partners to 86 partners and over 700 team members across offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Singapore.With a unique team, WK partners with forward-thinking insurers and corporates to solve their greatest challenges.
