  • Smaller office sizes (uniform single office sized offices), utilization of interior offices, etc. are driving efficiencies from 700-800 RSF per attorney to 500-650 RSF per attorney.
  • Several firms reduced their footprint with no reduction in headcount, leading to a higher employee-to-desk ratio, single-sized offices, and a reduction in file areas to accommodate the smaller footprint coupled with hybrid workstyle.
