Comprehensive brand and website overhaul for a Big Law-pedigreed IP litigation boutique competing nationally.
BIG LAW PEDIGREE, BOUTIQUE POSITIONING
Gish PLLC is an intellectual property litigation firm founded by veteran Big Law attorneys with offices in New York and San Francisco. Specializing in complex IP disputes across finance, technology, and innovation — with nearly every attorney holding technical degrees, many with advanced or doctoral credentials — the firm handles some of the most technically demanding cases in the field.
As the firm expanded its caseload and profile, its digital presence became misaligned with its market positioning. ICVM Hawk partnered with Gish to develop a brand and website that accurately reflected its capabilities and competitive standing alongside national competitors.
