Legal Sector Leasing & Associate Survey Insights

6/13/2024

The Evolving Landscape of Legal Sector Office Leasing

Legal tenants have been active in the first quarter of 2024 as they committed to 3.2 msf of space. While not as high as the unprecedented level of leasing activity in Q1 2023, it was still stronger than the first quarter of 2019 and 2021. More than one third of law firms who leased space in Q1 2024 increased the size of their office while less than a quarter of them downsized. 

Artificial intelligence has continued to be a hot topic for the legal sector. The youngest attorneys expect the technology to have a significant impact on the industry over the next 5-10 years with attitudes surrounding its impact ranging from positive, to neutral, to negative.  

Though the legal sector is in a constant state of evolution, law firms are expected to continue to be in the market for office space given their proclivity for in-office work and apprentice-based business model.

​​Which Amenities Are Driving Leasing Activity?​

Occupiers were already seeking out differentiated office space prior to the pandemic. In fact, 90% of office absorption in 2018 and 2019 was in Class A quality buildings, which only account for approximately half of total inventory.
