Venable On the Move

Some exciting firm office moves have us thinking about all the positive changes and developments of the past year, and the inspiring things still to come in 2023.

In January, attorneys and professional staff from prominent multi-practice Florida firm Genovese Joblove & Battista joined Venable, expanding the firm's geographic footprint to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa. We anticipate great things in the coming year for our colleagues in the Sunshine State.

Speaking of new territory, our colleagues in New York and Tysons have started packing up their books, mugs, and staplers in anticipation of office moves. Later this month Venable's New York offices are moving from Rockefeller Center to a brand-new space in Times Square. And in May, our colleagues in Tysons are moving to new offices across the cul-de-sac from their current home.

Read about more office happenings, pro bono activities, and our diversity initiative below.
