Law practices are redefining their approach
to business in light of economic factors,
technology and cultural shifts that have
occurred in recent years. Mergers and
acquisitions have changed the landscape of the
legal industry, giving rise to a new focus on
cost reduction, flexibility and technology. Real
estate impacts a law firm's viability and
success in all these areas. Therefore, it is
paramount that a law firm's real estate
requirements be met strategically, to
accommodate both future requirements and
unexpected changes.
Newmark Knight Frank's Law Firm Advisory
Services division utilizes vast law firm
experience and best-in-class benchmarking to
analyze its law clients' business and facility
needs. These procedures enable Newmark Knight
Frank to develop strategies that provide
flexibility and create an efficient and
effective business environment, while
maintaining or reducing overall occupancy costs.
This allows law firms to be more agile, and take
advantage of business opportunities, ultimately
leading to an increase in per partner profits.
The Law Firm Advisory Services division works
with its clients as a partner, not an
independent entity. The firm recognizes that
there are several distinct factors impacting law
firms, and accordingly addresses each of them
individually. We approach each firm's account
with a strategic plan tailored to that firm's
real estate and financial requirements. By
immersing themselves in their client's culture
and goals, the division's professionals achieve
results that go beyond monetary savings, and
meet a law firm's needs for both the present and
the foreseeable future.
