Office News

New York – Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP has moved its New York office to 51 West 52nd Street, the same building that houses CBS headquarters and which is also known as Black Rock.  The innovative design of the space reflects Orrick's progressive culture, integrating technological, environmental and social advantages that enable the firm to better and more efficiently serve its clients.

Non-traditional features for law firms are incorporated throughout the office.  Numerous public spaces, transparent glass office fronts and an open floor plan, with low-height components for greater visibility and interaction among staff, contribute to a sense of community.  To better connect with other offices and clients, Orrick invested in state-of-the-art telepresence conferencing equipment.

"We abandoned prior notions about what a law office should look and feel like," said Peter Bicks, Orrick's New York office leader.  "Using strategies often used by our clients, we designed the space to maximize efficiency and provide a more collaborative work environment for Orrick's lawyers and staff."

Being environmentally-friendly was another top consideration for the firm.  From design to completion, Orrick strived to reduce its overall impact on the environment.  Orrick will be applying for LEED green building certification for its New York office.
