Seyfarth Shaw’s New York Office Moves to New Location

New York, NY (August 7, 2007) - - Seyfarth Shaw LLP, one of America’s leading full service law firms, announced the successful move of its New York office, consisting of approximately 185 employees, including both attorneys and support staff, to its new location, the New York Times Building, at 620 Eighth Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets. The office was previously located in the Radio City Music Hall at Rockefeller Center at 1270 Avenue of the Americas.

“Our New York office has more than doubled in size in the past two years, and our new home accommodates our rapid expansion with state-of-the-art technology and conferencing capabilities,” said Lorie E. Almon, co-managing partner of the New York office.

Seyfarth Shaw first opened its New York office in 1979 with seven attorneys.  The firm moved over 80 attorneys into its new office space on Monday, and will accommodate over 140 lawyers in the new space. In May 2006, Seyfarth Shaw was the first tenant to sign a lease at the Renzo Piano-designed 52-story skyscraper.  The firm now occupies 100,000 square feet on floors 31, 32 and 33 of the building located near the heart of bustling Times Square.

“When the firm signed its 17-year lease for our space at the New York Times Building, it was a testament on behalf of the entire firm to the importance of the continued growth and strength of our New York office to fully serve our growing client base both regionally and nationally,” added John P. Napoli, co-managing partner of the firm’s New York office.

The design of the new office space reflects the firm’s collaborative culture as part of its commitment to provide excellent client service. Each of the three floors features an open floor plan that brings in light to enhance the feeling of spaciousness in the overall layout. The architecture of the building itself is the first in the United States to incorporate a ceramic sunscreen, which creates a curtain wall that reflects and filters in light that changes color throughout the day. The space includes numerous internal and external teaming areas, including wireless, interactive conference and board rooms for client meetings.
