Barclay Damon Move to Larger NYC Office Part of Major Markets Growth

Barclay Damon has officially relocated its New York City office within Rockefeller Center to a newly renovated, significantly expanded, and more modern space on the 23rd floor. The move effectively doubles the firm’s space and office count as part of a continued investment in its growing major-market offices—New York City, Boston, New Haven, and Washington DC—and supports its long-term strategy of attracting top legal talent and providing exceptional legal representation to clients in a geographically expanded platform.

The new offices in New York comprise approximately 11,590 square feet and were designed with flexibility, functionality, and further growth in mind. The offices comfortably accommodate Barclay Damon’s 33 New York City–based attorneys and eight professional staff, while also providing ample space for visiting attorneys and clients as well as future lateral hires. The space features the latest in office technology, modern design, and collaborative work areas, and offers all the amenities of the Rockefeller Center campus, including direct access to restaurants, retail, and transportation.

“This move represents an important step forward for our firm as we continue to strengthen our position in major markets,” said Connie Cahill, Barclay Damon’s managing partner. “It also reflects an extraordinary level of success in finding great lawyers in New York and expanding that office over the past five years, from less than a half-dozen lawyers before COVID-19 to over 30 lawyers today.” 

Lizz Acee, managing director of major markets, oversees the more than 90 lawyers making up the firm’s major market offices and works closely with Cahill in the careful expansion the firm has enjoyed.

The relocation underscores the firm’s broader major-market growth strategy, which has driven expansion in several offices and increased the firm from 50 to approximately 300 attorneys over the past two decades. This success is fueled by a highly regarded lateral recruitment and integration program.

“Our New York City team plays a critical role in many of the firm’s core practices, from complex litigation, bankruptcy, and regulatory matters to high-stakes transactional work,” said Acee. “This investment allows us to better support our clients with expanded capacity, new technology, and a more welcoming, collaborative environment. It also helps us continue to attract top-tier talent who want to practice at a firm that values excellence and innovation.”
