LSAG Legal Briefs - Vol 2

Introduction I hope you enjoy this edition of Legal Briefs, a newsletter brought to you by Cushman & Wakefield’s Legal Sector Advisory Group. Since our group’s founding in 2012, we have grown to over 450 legal sector experts, specializing in strategizing, creating, and implementing real estate solutions that support the financial, business, and operational drivers of law firms around the world. This edition includes an overview of the law firm market in 2019, including a digest of top leases signed throughout the United States. In addition, we highlight how firms are handling succession planning and overall diversity and inclusion efforts, with a recap of our Women in Law event which took place in San Francisco June 2019. Finally, we are thrilled to feature a guest story brought to us by Gensler which delves into how law firms are adapting their workspaces to the needs of the newer generation of attorneys. We are also excited to launch our proprietary National Legal Sector Benchmark and Associate Survey in January 2020, which is currently in its seventh year. A synopsis of the 2019 report is also included in this edition and we look forward to sharing our results from the 2020 survey in our Bright Insight report, scheduled to be released mid-year 2020.

Enjoy!

Warmest Regards,

Sherry A. Cushman Executive Managing Director Leader, Legal Sector Advisory Group Cushman & Wakefield +1 202 471 3595 sherry.cushman@cushwake.com
