Legal Office Space in Washington, D.C. and the Surrounding Area
Currently: 8 offices across Washington, D.C. and close-in suburbs — including locations in the Golden Triangle, upper Northwest D.C., and Northern Virginia.
Washington''s legal community extends well beyond K Street. Solo practitioners, boutique firms, and government-focused practices are distributed across D.C. neighborhoods, Arlington, and the Maryland suburbs — drawn by proximity to federal agencies, courts, regulatory bodies, and a client base that doesn''t concentrate in a single district. Demand for individual office space at the attorney scale follows that same geography. LookingForSpace brings structure to that market, giving firms and attorneys a consistent, private channel rather than leaving matches to chance.
Firms across the region have been trading up aggressively. Freshfields signed a 117,000-square-foot relocation to Midtown Center in early 2025. Cooley committed to 126,000 square feet at a new development near Metro Center. Sidley Austin anchored a 240,000-square-foot build-to-suit. Bradley Arant subleased 28,000 square feet from Dentons on K Street, downsizing from 33,000. Firms that move into more space than they immediately occupy, or consolidate from multiple floors, routinely carry offices they don''t currently need.
Current availability on LookingForSpace spans the region. Listings include furnished suites in the Golden Triangle at 2001 L Street, offices near Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom along Connecticut Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, locations in upper Northwest D.C. on Columbia Road and 14th Street, and suburban offices in Arlington and Takoma Park. Pricing varies by location and configuration. Managed office arrangements in newer downtown buildings run higher than shared law office space in residential neighborhoods and close-in suburbs, where attorney-scale offices can represent strong value relative to the core.
LookingForSpace lists these opportunities directly from the firms and operators that hold them. Both sides of the transaction — the firm with available offices and the attorney seeking space — connect principal-to-principal, without outside intermediation. Firms post available offices and browse Offices Wanted ads. Attorneys search listings and respond directly. The process stays within the legal community, on both parties'' terms, with no third party involved at any stage.
