Barclay Damon’s strategic growth in New York City has attracted recent media attention, with Law360 Pulse, the New York Law Journal, New York Business Journal, and Central New York Business Journal spotlighting the firm’s office expansion at Rockefeller Center.
In Law360 Pulse’s “Office Snapshot” article, John Langan, Barclay Damon’s chair, shared how the New York City office has grown more than 500 percent since 2019, prompting a move to a newly designed, larger space on the 23rd floor of 1270 Avenue of the Americas. “We’ve had great success finding talent in the New York market and our clients want services there,” John said. “It’s been a good period for us and the real growth has been since 2019. From that period, we went from less than a dozen to nearly 35 attorneys in New York, with more than 90 in all of the major markets.” The new space nearly doubles the office’s footprint and reflects the firm’s modern, team-oriented work culture, including a hoteling model and uniform office sizes.
The New York Law Journal article “As Big Law Expands NYC Offices, Fewer Midsize Firms Follow” (available to subscribers) also recognized Barclay Damon as one of the few midsize firms expanding in New York City, while others maintain or reduce space. Connie Cahill, Barclay Damon’s managing partner, emphasized that the expansion aligns with the firm’s commitment to growing in key markets and deepening its capabilities for clients with increasingly sophisticated legal needs. “By building our presence in cities like New York, Boston, New Haven, and Washington DC, we’re creating access to deep talent pools that align with our clients’ increasingly complex and specialized demands,” Connie said.
This milestone underscores Barclay Damon’s continued success in attracting top legal talent and meeting clients where they are.
