LEGAL INDUSTRY CHANGESIMPACT OTHER INDUSTRIESREAL ESTATE Leasing as Law Firms Rethink Their Real Estate Footprint
One-third of respondents to a survey conducted by commercial real estate group Cushman & Wakefield said they expect their law firms to reduce office space by over 20% in reaction to the ongoing crisis, which has left offices empty for months and forced attorneys and their employers to adapt.
Before June, “no one made decisions” at U.S. law firms because of the pandemic, said Arthur Santry, co-chair of the law firm practice group at real estate company Cushman & Wakefield. But in recent weeks that has eased. Santry said he renewed a lease this summer for a Big Law firm in Washington D.C. that slashed its office space by one-third, to about 200,000 square feet.
Many firms are locked into long term leases and can't immediately jump to a smaller offices, or move to a completely remote work set up, several legal industry sources have told Reuters. Cushman & Wakefield said it anticipates a large number of early lease restructures and space givebacks in 2021 and 2022, once law firms have a stronger sense of how and where they want attorneys to work long term
