Law firm fitouts that actually understand the big picture
Expertise, experience, authority and trustworthiness: whether you’re a veteran corporate law office in the heart of the CBD or a personal injury lawyer out in the suburbs, your clients, new or existing, need you to prove these four qualities to them every time they walk through your doors.
We’ll make sure every element of your offices — the welcoming client floor, soundproof consultation rooms, customisable file storage systems, expansive legal libraries, state-of-the-art conference rooms — aligns to create a sense of cohesion, control and compassion. After all, every client wants to feel like your first priority.
Our space-optimising refurbishments and from-scratch fitouts will prove to your clients and your employees that you were always the right choice.

Your next steps
The sooner we finish our work, the sooner you can get back to yours. Here’s our law firm interior design process distilled down to three simple steps.
Book your consultation
Whether you need us to shortlist potential sites for your new office or optimise your existing one, we’ve got you covered.
The research begins
Following your consultation, we’ll set up more in-depth interviews with you, your staff and any other key stakeholders so that we can accurately define how your spaces will actually be used and how we can make them more productive.
More and more research
There’s no such thing as too much data. We’ll start reviewing the interior designs of other law firms, and maybe even of offices outside your industry to uncover out-of-the-box ideas that might make your designs even more unique.

FAQs

What’s the difference between fitouts and refurbishments?
Fitouts are from-scratch projects. These are ideal if you’re moving into a brand new space, or want us to strip out your existing one. Refurbishments optimise the office you already have; they’re ideal if you’re happy with what you have but need the space to be better utilised.
What kind of refurbishments can you design specifically for law firms?
Our fitout designers will work with you to customise the design of every room in your law firm, including:
Private offices
- Confidentiality is crucial in legal work, so private offices with soundproofing are essential for client meetings and focused work.
- Customisable storage solutions for organising case files, legal documents, and personal items.
Conference rooms
- Multiple conference rooms equipped with video conferencing technology for virtual meetings, client consultations, and depositions.
- Flexible furniture arrangements that can accommodate different meeting sizes, from small team huddles to large client presentations.
Reception area
- A welcoming reception area that conveys the firm’s brand and professionalism, often featuring high-end finishes, comfortable seating, and an impressive display of the firm’s accolades or artwork.
- Discreet check-in processes to maintain client confidentiality.
Collaborative spaces
- Teamwork areas for associates to collaborate on cases, often featuring comfortable seating, writable surfaces, and access to legal research tools.
- Breakout rooms for informal discussions, brainstorming sessions, or relaxing between meetings.
Libraries and research rooms
- A dedicated library or research space with access to legal databases, reference materials, and quiet zones for focused study.
- Digital and physical resource integration to ensure seamless access to up-to-date legal information.
War rooms
- War rooms for trial preparation, where teams can strategise, store case materials, and conduct mock trials.
- Large whiteboards or pinboards for visualising case timelines, evidence, and legal arguments.
File storage
- Secure file storage areas with systems for both digital and physical documents, ensuring easy access while maintaining confidentiality.
- Centralised filing systems that can be integrated with digital case management software.
Client meeting rooms
- Comfortable and private meeting rooms designed specifically for client interactions, with an emphasis on creating a reassuring and professional atmosphere.
- Separate entrance or waiting area for clients to ensure privacy and discretion.
Wellness and quiet zones
- Quiet rooms for meditation, relaxation, or personal calls, providing a space for lawyers to decompress during high-stress periods.
- Wellness facilities such as a small gym, showers, or nap rooms to support physical and mental well-being.
Technology integration
- State-of-the-art technology throughout the office, including high-speed internet, secure Wi-Fi, and advanced communication systems to facilitate seamless work from any location within the firm.
- Touchscreen displays and digital boards in conference rooms and collaborative spaces for presentations and case discussions.
Of course, if you want to splurge on something less functional and more luxurious like a private dining room, our professionals can make that happen, too.
