Describing their new home

“We feel that we really hit a homerun with our new headquarters. It provides an enhanced experience for all of our stakeholders – staff, attorneys and clients alike – and we couldn’t be happier with the final result.”
– Nicholas Racioppi Jr., head of the firm’s Real Estate Practice, who led the lease negotiations, along with partner Joshua Greenfield

“The atmosphere in our new offices is vibrant, with a new appreciation for and enjoyment of the collegial culture we have long experienced. The modern floor plan allowed us to completely reimagine our workspace, and we have made the most of the opportunity.”
– Managing Partner Michael O’Mullan

“Our foremost goal throughout [the design and reconstruction process] has been to create an office environment that truly reflects the way our people work together and connect with each other. Since moving to our new space, we have experienced a very positive energy across all of our departments as we are now on one floor.”
– Firm co-chair Anthony Borrelli

“We created a descriptive, illustrated timeline of Riker for our reception area, going back to our founding in 1882 and detailing many of our notable leaders through the decades, including Supreme Court Justices, Federal Judges, State and U.S. Attorneys General, Bar presidents and much more. Our history is quite impressive, and we wanted to prominently feature it throughout the new office.”
– Firm co-chair Kelly Crawford, who added that several conference rooms were named after past team members
