Global Law Firm

In a rapidly evolving legal industry, workplaces must support flexibility, connection, and well-being while reinforcing a firm’s global identity. In New York — a city defined by energy, creativity, and constant reinvention — law offices are reimagining traditional models to reflect more collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable values. For this global law firm, this meant creating a workplace that reflects its collaborative culture and forward-looking values, blending global sophistication with local character, while empowering its people to thrive.

Gensler partnered with this global law firm to create a workplace that redefines the modern law office through flexibility, hospitality, and technology. The design draws inspiration from New York’s rhythm and culture, weaving warmth, sophistication, and sustainability throughout. Flexible offices, integrated amenities, and biophilic design foster collaboration and well-being, while a dramatic central staircase connects four floors both physically and socially. Achieving LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, and Fitwel 3-Star certifications, the office exemplifies a balanced, people-first environment that supports innovation and equity.

This global law firm’s New York office sets a new benchmark for the legal workplace — one that prioritizes people, sustainability, and connection. Through redefining hierarchy through equitable design, integrating wellness and hospitality, and embracing New York’s dynamic spirit, the firm has created an environment that inspires collaboration and belonging. The space not only enhances daily work life but also reflects the firm’s commitment to progress, equity, and global leadership, positioning it at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry.
