In the past, law firms chose office locations near the courthouse and remained there for decades. In the modern landscape, with clients spread throughout a city and downtown rents skyrocketing, law firms are no longer staying in one central location.
Moving a law firm once involved little more than packing up boxes of files and transporting them to a new location. Old documents were left in their boxes and sent off to “storage.” Files from ongoing matters were unpacked in the new office and re-filed largely in accordance with the firm’s traditional system. Because the likelihood of another move was seen as remote, firms had little reason to consider, much less plan, for additional moves.
