As Big Law firms push a return to the office, law firms in Washington, D.C., continue downsizing their physical footprints, in line with a trend of fitting lawyers and staff into less space.
Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner signed a lease renewal in the fourth quarter for 73% smaller space in its Washington, D.C. office. Also in the fourth quarter, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll restructured its office lease in D.C., shedding 10,000 square feet, and Zuckerman Spaeder contracted slightly in space when it inked a new lease one street over from its current office.
