Working remotely has countless benefits, but at some point, you may consider upgrading from your home office, local cafés, and hotel lobbies.

Whether you have found that your practice is growing or that consistent office space is necessary to meet the needs of your clients, this can be a very welcome change. 

Transitioning to a shared workspace is a great way to rent an office space and adjust from fully remote work without the commitment of a long-term lease. 

How to Set Up an Office Space

When determining how to set up an office, there are four pillars you should consider basing your choices around.

Above all, an office space should be welcoming, professional, clean, and functional. 

Welcoming Environment

The first thing clients want to see is a friendly face. This is true for you too anytime you walk into your own office.

If you choose to rent an office, make sure that the front desk staff is committed to making you and your clients feel welcome. Perks like readily available coffee and tea are an added bonus. 

Take into account that little things like adequate parking and a convenient location can also make a difference.

Having well-maintained aesthetics is important and simple when you rent office space. This also includes landscaping and general building upkeep. 

Professional Atmosphere

The legal profession has come a long way from stuffy rooms filled with shelves and shelves of books to make you look smarter. Clients expect a certain level of traditional professionalism.

Mixing this with modern aesthetics and architecture can provide clients with a sense of confidence when they walk in the door. 

Cleanliness

Clients expect to walk into a space that is uncluttered, without dust or stains.

Cleanliness is crucial and easy to achieve when renting an office in a shared workspace with a full staff committed to constant upkeep.

You do need to be responsible for the tidiness of your desk and additional workspace. 

Functional space

Having a fully functional space also means functional technical capabilities, equipment, and furniture, not to mention temperature-controlled rooms.

You will need a desk and comfortable chairs for you and your clients.

The Mesilla Legal Center has high-speed wireless internet, each room has full video conferencing capabilities, and rooms can be set up based on the specific needs of your practice.

Longer-term rental agreements may also provide the opportunity to decorate and make the space your own. 

Renting a Legal Office Space

Choosing to rent an office space is a great way to mesh flexibility and traditional expectations.

When determining how to set up an office space, take into consideration what you will be using the space for. You may also choose to rent a conference room rather than an office.

A shared legal space can serve a variety of purposes. These could include general meetings, depositions, case reviews, trial preparation, mediations, witness preparation, staff luncheons, and more.

Having a reliable meeting place or office to supplement your remote work, can make a big difference to your legal practice.
