The national law firm of Baker Donelson has relocated its Charleston office to new, larger office space that will accommodate the Firm’s plans for continued growth in Charleston and across the Carolinas.
Baker Donelson, which launched its Charleston presence in September 2022, now occupies office space on the seventh floor of Morrison Yard, overlooking the Cooper River at the base of the Ravenel Bridge.
“When we launched Baker Donelson’s Charleston presence, we did so with a commitment to being a dynamic part of this community,” said Ashley Cooper, managing shareholder of the Firm’s Charleston office. “Our new office is in a vibrant and growing area at the gateway of the city, which makes it a perfect place to anchor Baker Donelson’s Charleston home. In addition to offering us the capacity to add new colleagues as the Firm expands in Charleston, the office was designed with our clients and the community in mind, to create a unique, inviting space for collaboration and hospitality.”
Developed by interior design firm MurphyMeyers, the office suite includes a reception area with seating, unique artwork, and custom signage. A nearby hospitality area is furnished with a central island and banquette seating for working and entertaining. The suite has small and large meeting rooms that offer flexibility in furniture layout, room sizing, and audio/visual needs. The office also features state-of-the-art technology and equipment that provide capabilities to meet changing market demands.
