Founded in Los Angeles in 1979,
Lewis Brisbois is relocating their Atlanta offices to the iconic office tower
from 1180 Peachtree Street, accommodating the firm’s continued expansion plans
in the Southeastern U.S.
Bank of America Plaza’s strategic location in the heart of South
Midtown and Tech Square played a significant factor in the firm’s decision to
move as the neighborhood’s rapid emergence as a walkable live-work-play
community continues to attract a diverse blend of Fortune 500 companies, TAMI
sector firms and professional service providers.
Lewis Brisbois is expected to move
into its new offices in the high-rise floors on the 46th and 47th floors in
April 2021 after completing build-out of its new customized state of the art
workspace.
