Samuels Yoelin Kantor Seymour & Spinrad LLP is pleased to announce that we are moving our office to downtown Portland’s US Bancorp Tower at 111 SW Fifth Avenue. The firm’s new office will be located on the 38th floor, and the lease commences February 1, 2011. The new space, which totals 10,845 square feet, is about one-third larger than our current space in John’s Landing—plenty of room to accommodate the growth we expect in the months and years ahead!
The move to “Big Pink” signals the firm’s return to downtown Portland. When Hy Samuels founded the firm in 1927, it was located downtown—in the Ladd Carriage House, and then at Standard Plaza. The firm has been located in John’s Landing for the last 30 years, and while we have all loved the scenic, riverside setting, we’re excited about the firm’s return to an urban, dynamic environment.
The new office will be centrally located and therefore easily accessible for “green” commuting via public transit. In addition, we’ll be within close proximity to the downtown clients and professional service and legal firms that we work with on a regular basis.
Also effective February 1, 2011—and coinciding with the move—the firm is shortening its name from Samuels Yoelin Kantor Seymour & Spinrad LLP to Samuels Yoelin Kantor LLP. Over the years, most law firms have shortened their names to provide better branding and marketing opportunities. The new name will certainly be easier to say and to remember, and it reflects the last names of the three longest-serving partners of the firm.
Stay tuned for more details on our upcoming move and open house. In the meantime, Happy Holidays!
