PHASE 1 PORTFOLIO REVIEW

DGS EFFICIENCY AND COST

FULLY ESCALATED 2019 RENT

FULL 2

By analyzing current firmwide efficiency standards, Cushman & Wakefield will clearly illustrate potential future cost savings. As the legal sector embraces an increased flexible work schedule, the ‘target’ square feet per attorney ratio will become even more dense, which will allow firms to relocate to higher- quality assets while maintaining a similar aggregate annual rent obligation.

PHASE 2 CONSENSUS BUILDING

BUSINESS

The Vision Session, a process Cushman & Wakefield exclusively developed for its legal sector clients, provides a forum to closely evaluate and discuss established key drivers and goals. The session consists of a two- to three-hour work session, which typically includes the Management Committee and Real Estate Committee (if determined), comprised of key firm leaders and future leaders. Cushman & Wakefield will customize the Vision Session and moderate the session to engage in an open discussion to build consensus regarding the goals and objectives surrounding your business, financial, and operational drivers.

PHASE 2 CONSENSUS BUILDING

What areas will most impact the future of the legal industry? Respondents chose multiple options

As part of the Vision Session process, Cushman & Wakefield will also confidentially survey all attorneys (both partners and associates), as well as benchmark the results against national statistics to provide a sense of how the priorities and drivers of each generation of lawyers integrate into the overall strategy and workplace designs. This survey will assist in better understanding attorney goals and pain points from a firmwide perspective to better effect change for the future.
