Capstan Legal
Client
Capstan Legal is a newly established boutique law firm founded by Brent J. Arnold, a recognized leader in cybersecurity and commercial litigation. With over two decades of experience on Bay Street, Brent brings deep expertise in data breach coaching, cyber risk analysis, high-stakes commercial litigation, and emerging technology law.
Capstan Legal is positioned to serve a pan-Canadian and US client base, with a focus on sophisticated cyber and commercial litigation matters. The firm targets law firms and lawyers for referrals or conflicts, companies preparing for or responding to cyberattacks, and a broader industry-agnostic clientele seeking specialized counsel. The firm’s unique value proposition lies in its agile, tech-forward approach, competitive pricing, and strong credentials, including the founder’s leadership roles such as Vice Chair of the Defence Research Institute’s Cybersecurity Committee and Corporate Secretary of the Canadian Internet Society.
The firm is building a brand centred on substance and expertise, avoiding typical law firm clichés and instead showcasing innovation and legal technology upskilling. Capstan Legal’s name draws on the metaphor of the ship’s capstan—a tech-enabled, problem-solving wheel—reflecting the firm’s commitment to combining traditional legal excellence with modern, adaptive strategies.
Capstan Legal aims to deliver practical, high-value legal services with a direct and authentic communication style. The firm emphasizes media presence, leadership recognition, and resource-rich content to establish itself as a thought leader and a trusted authority in its niche.
Cubicle Fugitive collaborated with Capstan Legal to design and develop a clean, user-friendly website, along with a cohesive logo and brand identity that highlights Brent’s extensive media appearances, speaking engagements, and leadership positions, while supporting scalable content. The branding and digital strategy are designed to distinguish Capstan Legal from traditional firms and emphasize its innovative, credible presence in the cyber and commercial litigation space.
