Trends in Professional Services
Professional services firms attract talent by doubling down on top-tier, amenity-rich real estate.
Despite economic uncertainty, law firms, consultants, and other professional services organizations invest in premium spaces to attract the best talent. Given the high cost of space, every square foot delivers value as both a working environment and a client-facing asset. Spaces become hospitality-led destinations designed to reinforce brand and trust.
The legal office evolves from workplace to workshop.
As AI redefines entry-level work, firms rethink how space supports connection, co-creation, and mentorship. Wellness and neurodiversity are core infrastructure, while partners are expected to be visible as mentors. The workplace doubles as a learning hub for talent and a stage set for clients. “AI studios” or “legal labs” inside the office work as venues for demos, training, and innovation workshops.
Firms invest in carbon tracking and other sustainable details to increase workplace value.
PSF workplaces are judged as much on CO₂ per square meter as on rent per square foot. Smart, AI-enabled HVAC systems and circular fit-out strategies reduce energy use by 10–15% and help firms meet strict embodied-carbon caps.
