We’re looking at an array of spaces that are mostly in Midtown. I would say in the area bounded by Broadway and Third Avenue and between about 15th Street and 46th Street roughly. We are also considering the possibility of space in the Hudson Yards.” The company expects to gradually expand its footprint once it moves into its permanent location. “When it comes to square footage, we expect to take initial space of about 3,000 s/f. We would want expansion space, though, that would allow us to have as much 15,000 s/f. Because we do aspire to have 20 lawyers in that office,” Quillen said. Fisher Phillips, an Atlanta-based firm that specializes in representing employers, has four attorneys in its Regus space. Currently, the firm has 350 attorneys in 33 offices across the country.
