Newman Ferrara, LLP—a respected litigation law firm led by partners John Newman and Lucas Ferrara—found itself in an unexpected and disruptive situation when a building-wide flood rendered its former office unusable. Overnight, the firm became nomadic, with attorneys splitting time between working from home and temporary coworking spaces.

While functional in the short term, this arrangement was far from ideal for a growing legal practice that depends on collaboration, confidentiality, and structure. The firm needed to reunite its team under one roof and establish a permanent, purpose-built office that could support both partners and associates for the long term. Their ideal space required an office-intensive layout, dedicated conference rooms for client meetings, open workspace for associates, and ample storage for case files—all without the delays of a major build-out.
