COVID-19 changed almost everything – especially in the business of office space. Organizations have been compelled to deeply reconsider their operations, culture, and the resulting impacts on employee recruitment and retention. Despite the many industry surveys circulated on the topic, the right answer surrounding the looming office usage questions remains elusive. Law firms, however, are bucking the trend of "wait and see."
After two years, three things are becoming clear, and no one answer fits all organizations:
- How work gets done, who does it, and where they do it best continues to evolve.
- Law firms in Denver are committed to using office space and are making decisions in record numbers.
- Law firms that have made or are close to making long-term decisions are making their bets on space utilization, and those bets are dramatically smaller than past practices in Denver.
