How we’re tackling the legal sector’s biggest workplace challenges
From creating hybrid-ready HQs to transforming heritage buildings into modern legal hubs — we’ve tackled some of the legal sector’s trickiest workspace challenges.
Flexibility and future-growth
Designing futureproofed legal workspaces is a unique challenge, requiring a careful balance of privacy, professionalism and adaptability. We create agile environments that evolve with changing client needs, technologies and ways of working and bring your space in line with the demands of the modern workplace.
Hybrid working
In a post-pandemic world, where hybrid working has become the norm, connectivity and collaboration are key. Our designs prioritise adaptable spaces that seamlessly support both in-person and remote teamwork while maintaining the professionalism and confidentiality the sector demands.
Efficient use of space
Legal firms are increasingly re-evaluating the need for large office spaces and extensive property portfolios. With a growing emphasis on efficiency, both spatially and financially, we’ve recognised that current legal environments may no longer reflect how their people actually work. Navigating this shift requires a cultural change, supported by policies that align with hybrid working, flexible space use, and the evolving expectations of today’s workforce.
Attracting and retaining talent
The office is a key tool in attracting and retaining top talent. Today’s legal professionals expect more than just a functional office, they want spaces that support flexibility, wellbeing and collaboration. A well-designed environment can help firms stand out to prospective employees and create loyalty among existing teams, making the office a powerful asset in the battle for talent.
Reflecting brand personality and reputation
Legal firms need a space that reflects their personality, stature and reputation. From the client suite to the visitor journey, every element of the space should convey credibility and confidence. In a competitive market, the office has become an important tool for reinforcing identity and making a lasting impression – something we embed in every legal workplace we design.
Client experience
A growing challenge for legal firms is creating a workplace that delivers a standout client experience. From the client suite to the visitor journey, every detail must reflect the firm’s expertise and professionalism. With increasing competition, offices need to do more to impress and differentiate from rivals.
Shoosmiths
Over our 15+ year partnership with Shoosmiths, we’ve worked together on over 40 projects across the UK including work in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Edinburgh!
Our latest project for them involved transforming 42,000 sq ft across 7 floors at their One Bow Churchyard office in London.
Claremont has elevated Shoosmiths’ London office into a benchmark for its regional network, showcasing what exceptional workplace design can achieve. Every element of the space has been shaped with people in mind, placing the employee experience at the heart of the design, from how cohesion and flexibility have been achieved over multiple floors, to the way spaces are lit and the choice of amenities and work settings on offer.
DAC Beachcroft
We’ve been working across the country with DAC Beachcroft for over 10 years.
An international law firm known for its support, creativity, determination, and clarity needs its regional offices to reflect these values. We’ve worked on 15 projects together, including supporting them with Workplace Consultancy projects, to help them evaluate their portfolio and consolidate existing offices.
Mills & Reeve
Mills & Reeves have become one of our newer returning partners; and it’s a relationship we’re excited to continue. Over the last few years we’ve supported them in designing and delivering a number of Destination Offices in Birmingham, Leeds, Oxford, Cambridge.
Our latest work with them in Birmingham got to the heart of what Mills & Reeve’s people and business truly needed. Our design brings to life a a destination, with a variety of options for how and where to work.
