Law Firms & Their Real Estate

Law firms like many industries are working to navigate the hybrid work environment and incorporate this way of work into their real estate strategy. In this presentation, we will share ways law firms can incorporate more flexibility into their real estate.

Topics we will cover include: 

• The state of law firm real estate in the last 12 months
• What law firms are doing with their real estate footprints
• How law firms are building flexibility into their real estate using furniture
• How law firms are structuring leases to incorporate maximum flexibility
• What role workplace strategy is playing in the decision making process
• A look ahead at what European law firms can tell us about what to expect on how US law firms will approach real estate (Europe historically is a leading indicator)
