Effective November 4, 2019, the Baton Rouge office of Jones Walker LLP has relocated to the City Plaza I tower downtown from its previous location in United Plaza. The new office address is 445 North Boulevard, Suite 800.
The firm now occupies the top two floors and a partial floor of City Plaza I, renovated to accommodate the law firm’s growing office of more than 80 attorneys and staff. The office decor reflects the firm’s new brand as well as its commitment to serve the Baton Rouge area.
The firm worked with Grace Hebert Curtis Architects to incorporate Louisiana influences and architectural details from the Louisiana State Capitol building throughout the more than 44,000-square-foot workspace. Office details include naming each of the nine conference rooms after regional parishes and feature original photography from William Schuette, a longtime resident of Baton Rouge and a partner in the firm’s Litigation Practice Group.
“The firm is very pleased to now be located in downtown Baton Rouge. Jones Walker has been a member of the Baton Rouge community for nearly 40 years, and after 23 years at United Plaza, we are happy to have returned to our roots downtown,” said Brandon K. Black, office head of Jones Walker in Baton Rouge.
Jones Walker worked with a Baton Rouge-based real estate development and property management firm, Wampold Companies, to secure the new office space. Members of CBRE’s Advisory and Transaction Services Group — Ryan Roth, Paul Penland, Charles Gordon and Brandon Clark — represented Jones Walker in the transaction with Wampold. The firm also worked with Faulk & Meek General Contractor, LLC.
