Bucking the trend of firms moving east in the District, Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton, an international law firm with about 60 attorneys in the city, next year will move eight blocks west to 2099 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, space recently occupied by Holland & Knight.
Like most law firms that have moved in the past couple of years, Sheppard Mullin, which signed the new lease in March, will reduce its physical footprint from about 64,000 square feet to 58,000 square feet. But it will increase the number of offices to 90 from 70, said Lucantonio Salvi, co-managing partner of the firm’s Washington office. The firm will be the anchor tenant at the building at 21st and Pennsylvania, and occupy two-and-a-half floors, with the option to expand.
