has officially moved into its new headquarters in Downtown Miami.

Recently featured in the Daily Business Review, the firm’s new office reflects a broader shift taking place across South Florida’s legal market, as firms rethink how workspace design can better support collaboration, productivity, mentorship, and client experience.

After nearly three decades in the Citigroup Center, Kluger Kaplan has built a new space occupying 18,000-square-feet on the tower’s 18th floor, designed around natural light, shared workspaces, upgraded technology, and a more connected team environment.

“We really wanted to shy away from the more traditional law firm office layout and create more collaborative spaces where people can interact,” said Shareholder Josh M. Rubens. “So much of your experience in an office is the layout.”

The new headquarters marks an exciting next chapter for the firm while remaining rooted in the Downtown Miami community it has called home for decades.
