Deeply rooted for nearly three decades in the heart of downtown Chicago, the decision to move this law firm’s office was driven by a look toward its future. The new, forward-thinking office design creates a world-class space where attorneys and clients feel comfortable sharing sensitive information. Glass walls allow for light to flow while restricting sound, supporting confidentiality.

Incorporating the latest technologies from retractable screens and hidden refrigerators, to recessed luminaires that minimize distraction with a clean, unobtrusive style, the new luxurious space earned the firm a spot on the 2017 list of the 15 coolest offices from Crain’s Chicago Business.
