Attorneys: Meeting Rooms & VC

I love having lunch with my sister Nina. We met on Saturday for a meal at Oceanna, a lovely Mediterranean restaurant in Fairfield, CT where we shared a “summer salad” and soup.   We started catching up and talked about family, pets and children. When the soup arrived we talked “work”.

My sister is an extremely impressive attorney.  She graduated from Yale Law School and upon graduating joined the public sector as an ADA.  She is admitted to both the CT and NY State Bar and is now a member of a leading law firm in New Haven, CT.  She is also the President of the Connecticut Employment Lawyer’s Association (“CELA”) and is the Co-Chair of the National Employment Association’s (“NELA”),  part of the Affiliate Relations committee (and I could go on, as a sister likely does)… Anyway,  I shared with her that attorneys are a prevalent client source for Business Center operators and that they use the full spectrum of products from offices to business services, meeting rooms and VC studios.

I asked her whether her firm would use remote VC and meeting rooms space and if so what they would use it for.   She said her firm would likely use a remote meeting space for:  client meetings, interviewing witnesses who are located too far away from the attorneys’ office; video conference depositions; in person depositions which take place out of the office (i.e. closer to the deponent’s domicile); arbitrations; mediations; bar association committee meetings; large scale meetings (e.g. meeting with multiple parties and their counsel) which exceed the space of the attorneys’ conference room.
