Isaacson Rosenbaum — The New Law Firm
Once upon a time, law firms filled huge, smoke-filled corner offices with plush leather couches and oak desks that seemed more like an armory than a meeting space. Isaacson Rosenbaum PC, a leading Denver law firm established in 1961, challenged that dated tradition this year with a newly designed office space in the heart of downtown Denver. The firm moved this October into their new suite of offices on the 18th floor of 1001 17th Street. The workplace, planned and created by Isaacson Rosenbaum attorneys and staff, has been built in a sustainable and efficient manner and is registered for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the United States Green Building Council. The Isaacson Rosenbaum office space was created to foster collaboration between attorneys. Perhaps most surprising of all is that this law firm—tradition or not—has eliminated the corner office in favor of shared meeting rooms with breath-taking views and an employee social area with lounge with food, drinks, a large screen TV and a Nintendo Wii. The timing signaled a clear opportunity to modernize, fashion more democratically-sized workspaces and lead the way toward “The New Law Firm of 2010.”
