Attorneys will increasingly prefer coworking spaces, as they have in the past. These flexible spaces have been used by solo attorneys for many years. Many in the legal profession have found that executive suites and coworking spaces lack professionalism and privacy. Some coworking spaces in Dallas are noisy, overcrowded, and do not offer the privacy that attorneys want. They are open to all, so they don’t have to cater to anyone.
Workspace for Lawyers was designed with lawyers in mind. Chelsea Green, the CEO of Signature Workspace, has been running operations for a Dallas-based law firm for over a decade and is now a consultant for several law firms. “When Signature Workspace was founded over two years ago, the whole concept was focused on what solo attorneys and small law firm owners needed. Green says that we make it as simple as possible for attorneys in our environment to run their practice successfully.”
