The importance of image: choosing office space
Article Abstract:
Office location and office appearance can be as important as the quality of the legal work. When choosing an office location, factors to consider include a need for proximity to the courthouse and a need for a convenient location if there is much client traffic. A real estate broker can be helpful. The office likewise should reflect the anticipated preferences of attorneys and clients, and an architect or space planner can make this part of the job much easier. Landlords can often help find space planners.
