Shipman & Goodwin's Strategic Move: A Commitment to Hartford
Shipman & Goodwin LLP, a prominent law firm, has made headlines with its announcement of relocating its Hartford office to the Gold Building, located at One Financial Plaza. This move, set for completion in late 2027, underscores the firm's dedication to investing in its clients, employees, and the Hartford community.
The New Office Location
Nestled in the heart of downtown Hartford, the Gold Building is recognized for its modern architecture and amenities that foster collaboration and innovation. The firm anticipates that this strategic move will provide an enhanced working environment that meets the evolving needs of both the team and its clients.
The new location's proximity to critical institutions such as courts, state agencies, and business partners further positions Shipman as a key player in the legal landscape of Connecticut. With this strategic location, the firm aims to enhance client service and deliver innovative legal solutions that cater to a diverse range of needs, from businesses and nonprofits to governmental entities.
A Message from Leadership
Leander Dolphin, Managing Partner at Shipman, expressed the significance of this move: “Our future relocation to the Gold Building reflects more than just a change in address; it symbolizes our ongoing investment in the people we serve. Our commitment to Hartford remains strong, and we are excited to cultivate an environment that fosters collaboration and supports exceptional client service.”
Dolphin's sentiment resonates with many in the firm, as the move aligns with their strategic growth plans not only in Hartford but also throughout the region. By staying rooted in downtown Hartford, Shipman continues to support and strengthen the local business community.
Collaboration with Local Partners
The transition to the Gold Building wouldn't be possible without the collaborative efforts of various local partners. The firm has enlisted CBRE as its tenant broker, with John McCormick, Anna Kocsondy, and Jeff Dunne representing them in the move. Additionally, Turner & Townsend will serve as the project manager, while The S/L/A/M Collaborative will be responsible for the architectural design, ensuring that the new office reflects the progressive nature of both the firm and the city.
