The Problem

The challenge for Matthew Paletz and his leadership team was to rebrand a second-generation law firm for a niche market in landlord-tenant law.

Landlord-tenant law is often a neglected aspect of law by most firms, and many provide this area of law as just another service. Further, the few firms that provide landlord-tenant law are small, understaffed, and do not invest in technology that brings the assistance that today’s landlords desire. 

CEO Matthew Paletz has the vision to elevate the perception of landlord-tenant law with outstanding professionalism and innovative technology. The brand needed to present a professional and commanding presence.

Are you ready for a rebrand?

Let Identity Creative help you enter the 21st century with a stunning brand that will capture and keep you customer’s attention.

“Our law firm had just gone through a lengthy family succession of ownership negotiation. Once completed, we did a major transition of practice areas. It was therefore vital that we get the message of our new direction out not only to our existing clients but to prospective ones as well.

We enlisted the help of Identity Creative, and it was the best decision we could have made. They took us through the process of establishing a brand identity that matched our core values and corporate mission.

In all phases, from creating a logo to celebrating our re-launch, Bill and Linda were with us every step of the way and have been an absolute pleasure to work with.

We continue to rely on them heavily for their guidance and partner with them regularly for creative marketing and branding projects.”
