We are more than just an office share. We are a community.

We know how challenging, time consuming and expensive entering the legal market can be. When we created 253 Columbia, we wanted to provide our members more than just a beautiful and functional space to practice, we wanted to remove barriers to entering the market as a sole practitioner or small firm, and remove barriers holding back those that have been at it for a while.


At 253 Columbia, community members acquire more than access to a workstation, storage, meeting and call pods and professional office services. You become a part of the fabric of our community. We may practice independently, but we engage with our community collaboratively, sharing resources, expertise, precedents, best practices, and life experiences. We even have a shared library for those that feel comfortable participating.
