Law.com Features Sherman & Howard in Article about Law Firms Relocating Offices

Denver (June 17, 2022)Law.com published an article about law firms, including Sherman & Howard, relocating to smaller footprints in newer buildings designed for the hybrid legal practices of the future. The following is an excerpt from the article.

“Sherman & Howard, Denver’s oldest law firm, had a similar story to tell about its recent office overhauls and its aim to foster collaboration.

The firm moved out of its 47-year-old home in March, relocating to an office about half the size at 60,000 square feet, as the anchor tenant of a newly constructed 30-story office building in downtown Denver called Block 162.

‘It’s a completely new building, and as the first tenant we’ve been a trailblazer, with lots of people following us into the space,’ said Sherman & Howard CEO Stefan Stein. ‘We reduced our footprint by 50%, and we’re on two floors, which encourages people to interact, cross-sell and collaborate…'”

“…As part of the firm’s vision to create a “one-firm mindset” that is welcoming and inclusive, according to Melissa Reagan, member and chair of talent acquisition at Sherman & Howard, the firm adopted single-sized offices and designated corner offices as huddle or meeting rooms, while increasing community event spaces and adding an internal café.

The office also signals that the firm is “very much embedded in the community” internally and externally, Stein said, noting the building offers views of the mountains, the state capitol and the Denver Broncos stadium, and keeps the firm in close proximity to local clients.”
