Designing an M&A report for a law client requires a careful balance of clarity, precision, and professionalism to effectively communicate complex transactional details. The report must not only present critical data and analysis but also reflect the law firm’s expertise and attention to detail. By combining thoughtful layout, intuitive structure, and visual elements, the design ensures that clients can quickly understand key insights and make informed decisions.

The Challenge
M&A reports often contain intricate legal and financial data. Simplifying this information for clear communication while retaining its precision and depth can be a significant challenge. M&A transactions are often time-sensitive, placing pressure on the team to produce a polished, accurate, and visually engaging report under strict deadlines.
Internal teams lacked a unified, high-quality image resource. The result? Diluted messaging, and a brand experience that didn’t live up to the firm’s reputation for attention to detail and local presence.
The Solution
The final M&A report provides clients with a clear, concise, and visually engaging presentation of complex legal and financial information, ensuring they can quickly grasp key insights and make informed decisions. By utilizing a dynamic platform like Foleon, the report delivers an interactive and user-friendly experience, increasing client interaction with the content and making it easier to navigate, analyze, and share critical information.
Working collaboratively, we established an image strategy focused on:
- Hero Imagery: Abstract, macro photography showcasing texture and detail – echoing the brand idea that “a little detail goes a long way”. These images created standout moments in key marketing and communications materials.
- Supporting Imagery: Curated London-themed photography capturing local architecture, cityscapes, and bespoke details from within Russell-Cooke’s own offices – from Georgian staircases to rooftop beehives. The imagery reinforced the firm’s personality and sense of place.
- System and Structure: We categorised images into Hero and Supporting tiers, providing clear usage guidance for internal teams. This ensured flexibility across formats, from brochures to digital content, while maintaining brand cohesion.

By leveraging Foleon’s capabilities, we transformed complex data and insights into a visually appealing, user-friendly format that aligns seamlessly with Cripps’ professional brand.

The result is a flexible, authentic visual identity that mirrors the firm’s ethos: expert, approachable, and firmly embedded in the city it serves.
