Offices for
law firms and consultancies
in Hamburg.

What matters

1. Clients see your office. Reception, meeting rooms and address are part of the service. What appears in almost every brief we receive: a reception, a large kitchen and space for meetings and events.
2. Private offices cost space. At around 20 m² per person, a law firm of 30 people needs about 600 m². A team in an open layout would manage with 360 to 450 m².
3. Confidentiality is a building requirement. Sound insulation between offices and separate routes for clients and team belong in the requirements before the first viewing.
4. The best spaces rarely reach the market. Gleiss Lutz leased around 2,500 m² on Neuer Wall before the space was ever advertised. It took eleven months of negotiation until signing.
5. Not every firm needs the city centre. If you have few client visits, you save considerably outside the centre. The tax advisers Tietge deliberately chose not to be in the core and are now based in Wandsbek.

Where it fits

• Altstadt: Law firms, auditors, tax advisers. From just under 80 m² to 3,800 m² in one piece.
• Neustadt: Neuer Wall and Gänsemarkt. Small units are available here as well as large ones above 1,000 m².
• HafenCity: For consultancies with client meetings and international offices.

Ottensen, St. Pauli and Altona are a less common fit when clients expect a representative address. More on this in the guides to Ottensen, St. Pauli and Altona.

Frequently asked questions

How much office space do law firms and consultancies need?

For our clients, usually 1,000 to 5,000 m². Because people work in private offices, we plan with around 20 m² per person, more than in most other industries.

Do law firms in Hamburg pay higher rents?

Yes. According to a recent market study, large law firms in Hamburg pay on average 28 % more than the market level across all industries. The same study shows where they are moving: from Eimsbüttel and Altona, Ottensen and Bahrenfeld to HafenCity and the city centre.

How long are law firm leases?

Usually five to ten years fixed, plus options to extend.
