2. P. 1 Law Firm Services Colliers International
For every firm, it’s different. But successful
law firms have one thing in common:
they anticipate change.
Seismic shifts in lawyer demographics and technology are
changing the way business is done, and how law firms use
space. Colliers’ Law Firm Services group is on the cutting edge
of these trends—and understands the underlying business
demands that drive them.
The future state of the workplace depends on the alignment of
function and space, enabled by technology: mobile workers,
smaller meeting spaces, open teaming areas and new furniture
systems that integrate technology without tethering workers to
the desktop.
Five critical trends are currently shaping the future of the law
industry’s space usage:
>> 75% of applications will be in the cloud by the end of 2015
>> 100 billion+ mobile devices globally by 2015
>> 50% of the workforce will be Generation Y “Millennials”
by 2018
>> 80% of work is highly collaborative
>> 40% of workspace is occupied at any given time
The implications are staggering, especially for law firms,
because workspace decisions also impact the brand and culture
of the firm, and its ability to recruit and retain top talent.
Rely on the strategic expertise and creative approach of the
Colliers Law Firm Services Group to stay ahead of the market,
not react to it.
How Do You
Define Success?

3. It is suggested that many of the
changes in the practice of law that
have occurred over the past few
years are not simply cyclical, but
rather are generational shifts
towards efficiency, and many of
these changes have more closely
aligned law firms’ business methods
with those of their clients.

Given the pace of technological change and the new ways in
which law firms must work to stay profitable and competitive,
how can you best make informed decisions that determine your
firm’s ability to grow and adapt—while focusing on your firm’s
core business?

was critical when dealing with
U.S.-based decision makers. His
understanding of the City of London
market and his strategic advice and

Proven Performance
KL Gates
London
With a large office lease expiration
due in 2010, the U.S. partners of
KL Gates appointed Colliers to
advise them on a relocation strategy
and subsequently to seek a new
City of London office of more than
100,000 square feet.
Our solution:
Working closely with Lehman-Smith
McLeish, the global real estate and
architectural advisers to KL Gates,
and with the London-based partner
responsible for real estate, a thorough
review of market opportunities was
delivered. Managing the liabilities
outstanding in the existing building at
110 Cannon Street, which included an
outstanding rent review and onerous
dilapidations responsibilities, was one
key requisite. The other was to secure
a “rock star” building which KL could
tailor to their needs during the fit out.
What was the result for the client?
Ultimately terms were agreed on
with Land Securities, the landlords of 110
Cannon Street. This mitigated the risk
of a move and enabled the dilapidations
and rent review to be ignored. Colliers
also converted some of the extensive rent
free period into a contribution for capital
works.
Ropes Gray
Boston
Because of Ropes Gray’s size, and
need for high-rise space and flexible
expansion rights, there were few existing
buildings that met its specifications.
The alternatives were: remain at One
International Place; relocate to an existing
building; or relocate to one of the new
developments in the pipeline.
Our solution:
After extensive due diligence,
including property tours, fit planning,
financial analysis, and demographic/
location studies, the firm concluded
that its best option was to relocate
to the Prudential Center, which had
available space in a high-rise contiguous
block with rectangular floor plates,
well-suited to Ropes Gray’s planning
and layout. Additionally, due to the
size of the Prudential complex, there
are many opportunities to
accommodate future growth.
What was the result for the client?
The parties worked efficiently and
cooperatively to structure a transaction
that was acceptable to all parties
involved. The transaction involved
a comprehensive long-term lease,
complex growth options, and the use
of the Internal Revenue Code §467 for
the tax treatment of the rental payments.
Colliers Law Firm Services Group
has been very instrumental in keeping
our firm informed of how changes in
the legal sector can impact a law firm
during a lease term and not just during a
lease negotiation period. During the past
two years, they have kept us apprised
of activity in the real estate market and
have continued to be attentive to the
needs of our firm...They have found ways
for our firm to take advantage of certain
situations based upon their extensive
knowledge of the legal industry which
may ensure that we will not miss out on
opportunities to save money for our firm
in the future.
