US lawyers contemplate the unthinkable: smaller offices

From the WSJ Law Blog:

“…firms looking to maximize the use of space in their pricey digs are doing things that in past decades would have been unthinkable. As in:

  • Shrinking lawyer offices
  • Giving all lawyers the same-sized office (gasp) regardless of seniority
  • Moving some offices away from the windows and into the building core (where secretaries and file cabinets used to sit).”
