Verrill Dana Announces New Brand and Website
New England-based firm Verrill Dana, with an office in Westport, Connecticut, has launched a new brand campaign, with an updated logo and website, including shortening the firm’s title to Verrill, in black letters with a gold background.
“With more than 150 years of history, it’s important to evolve,” said Verrill managing partner K.C. Jones. “While our core values and award-winning client service will remain the same, this new look and website better reflect our firm today and the growth we have experienced over the years.”
Website upgrades include improved navigation and added content, with an emphasis on the firm’s national reach. Infographics offer statistical information throughout the site.
“The new website is much easier for clients and prospective employees alike to navigate and find the resources they are looking for, whether it is attorney contact information, job openings or one of our many blogs and podcasts,” said Verrill marketing director Gretchen Johnson. “The combination of our traditional and more modern elements mirrors the changing demographics of our firm and practices.”
Verrill has more than 130 attorneys and seven offices in five states and the District of Columbia. The firm’s legal business name remains Verrill Dana LLP.
