Work-from-home has revolutionized the workplace in our modern day. More often, employees are trading the suit and tie for pajama pants and slippers while working through their projects from home.
We don’t expect lawyers will totally escape the need to look the part in Zoom meetings, but remote work and hybrid models are becoming more and more the norm at most firms. For some firms, eliminating a physical office altogether is the ideal solution to cut operating expenses and focus solely on productivity and maximizing the bottom line.
For firms such as these, Amata offers numerous solutions.
The Crux of Remote Work
Work-from-home is great. Remote working keeps costs down so your attorneys will still produce and earn but you’re limiting overhead expenses and keeping that all-important cash in your business account.
It’s a win-win on paper, but scenarios often arise where its drawbacks are revealed. Most notably, where do we meet our clients?
Longtime clients may not mind using popular platforms like Zoom or Teams to have a discussion. Technology may at times complicate these meetings with garbled audio, background listeners, and other factors that otherwise complicate a simple face-to-face meeting.
For an initial meeting and first impression, in-person always is best. That’s where Amata has you covered.
Amenities for Rent
Working remotely is great for many things but staging a setting for the all-important initial sit-down is inappropriate to have at your home. An upscale restaurant might serve as a suitable fill-in, but who’s footing the bill?
That’s why the conference room is the tried-and-true solution to this quandary. Inviting a client to a conference room is more than a simple meeting. The space will project the image you would like your client to associate with you.
What will they see upon arrival? Are they sitting in a cluttered room with stacks of boxes or building supplies? Is the lighting smart with accents or bright incandescent lights burning their retinas? Does the furniture make a statement? Is there technology present?
You want the fixtures to be an extension of your own image. You want luxury, class, style, and smart design. The client should be impressed and feel at ease in the meeting.
Making a successful first impression helps give the client confidence in your abilities and helps secure the contract long before you even speak a word.
Amata’s conference rooms are the epitome of luxury and demonstrate professionalism, attention to detail, class, and decadence. Even if you do most of your day-to-day from home, the rooms are available to rent and will be just the thing to set the tone from the get-go.
Your New Home Office Away from Home
Amata offers flexibility in their rental options, so attorneys that prefer to work from home are able to do so but also rent amenities as needed. However, some workers thrive by separating home and work and find themselves more productive in an environment more conducive to work.
If that sounds like you, you’ll be more than delighted to walk through any Amata office in the Chicago and Cook County area. Call Amata today and see what might work best for you.
