Courtney New, an immigration associate at Nixon Peabody, describes her sometime office at the Cambridge Innovation Center as a double-wide phone booth. "Think of The Jetsons. It’s like a futuristic pod," adds her colleague, Nixon associate Mahmood Firouzbakht. "It’s perfectly comfortable for one person, but it is a little different from what we’re used to," New says.
In late April, Nixon Peabody became the latest of several law firms to secure a workstation in the CIC, an incubator in Kendall Square that houses nearly 600 start-up companies. The CIC is also home to attorneys from Foley Hoag, McCarter & English, Edwards Wildman Palmer, and Massachusetts firm Morse, Barnes-Brown & Pendleton.
