The new office world of the international commercial law firm Latham & Watkins arises within the office building „Frankfurter Welle“, not far from the Old Opera in Frankfurt on the Main.

The change from office culture to activity based working meets the eye: open spaces replace single offices and glass walls confined spaces.

They can also find retreat areas like focus rooms or phone cubes where lawyers may make phone calls, concentrate and work without being disturbed.
