Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, a national law firm, has redesigned their office space with an innovative and inclusive approach. The new design, created by global architecture firm Gensler, features identical workstations for all employees, including senior lawyers, and incorporates new design ideas. The office space aims to provide a warm and welcoming environment for collaboration, reflecting the need for flexibility highlighted by the pandemic.
Even before national law firm Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP started their office redesign in spring 2021, executives had already been leaning toward a less traditional approach than the stereotypical mahogany-panelled, closed-door-offices-around-the perimeter design of law firm s past.
“We knew early on we wanted to be innovative, committed to making a warm, welcoming, inclusive space to collaborate in,” says managing partner Kristin Taylor, who led the charge on the renovation when the firm moved to the Bay Adelaide Centre in downtown Toronto. The pandemic only confirmed the need for flexibility, and the Cassels office space, designed by global architecture firm Gensler, reflects a lot of new design ideas. Workstations are identical regardless of role, including for senior lawyers. Each workstation is 10 by 12 feet with light wood, coloured desks, glass walls on all sides with a privacy frost panel at eye level, multiple filing cabinets, cupboard doors with white-board fronts and sit-stand desk
