The legal industry transformation continues in response to new ways of working, real estate priorities, and talent pressures. A new trend has begun of firms bringing support services back onsite as a strategic response to evolving needs. But why? This response has been developed over the last year as more industry leaders have begun prioritizing higher office attendance as a key indicator of future success. With CBRE reporting office utilization only around 50%, firm leaders have begun to reevaluate their operation strategies in an effort to increase that figure even more — while saving money on their real estate at the same time.

Following an article I shared earlier this week showing that law firms signed leases for a whopping 16.9 million square feet of office space, which isn't just an uptick but the most they've secured since pre-COVID times. This would suggest that there could be more of a push for returning to the office, however, what we are seeing is the industry norm being 3 days a week. To provide insight into the legal industry's working pattern, I previously wrote an article about how law firm hybrid working policies were evolving in 2023 and what it could mean for 2024.
