Who doesn’t love a shiny new makeover? The Biglaw firm formerly known as Wiley Rein has decided to go bold in the new decade, shortening their name (at least in marketing materials) to Wiley and using the .law exchange (a move they believe to be a first for an Am Law 200 firm).
Wiley.law is also shaking up their look. Gone from their homepage is the staid green and white palette in favor of a bold red and purple look:
AI Is Killing Legal’s Billable Hour. It’s Also Repeating Its Worst Mistake
Law firms and legal departments are writing the future of the profession in separate rooms. What happens when they actually work together?
As managing partner Peter Shields told Law.com, the new look was designed to turn heads:
“We decided as a partnership that the timing was right,” managing partner Peter Shields said in an interview. “We have a focus on some new practices and thought it was time for our brand to reflect that.”
….
The colors, according to Shields, were recommended by Dharma Pachner, chief creative officer at consulting firm Contrast and Co. “He said the overall look and vibrancy reflected what he heard from the stakeholders. We never looked back,” said Shields.

LexisNexis sat down with John Ursin, Managing Partner at Schenck Price, to learn how the firm is using legal AI to strengthen client service and daily legal work.
“Since our founding, clients have turned to Wiley to solve their most pressing issues and anticipate the challenges that lie ahead,” Shields said in a statement. “Our new brand represents who we are today—a firm with a focused mindset, interdisciplinary depth, a celebration of diversity, and a culture of collegiality.”
Best of luck with the new look.
