When Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen and Loewy—like several of its Am Law 200 counterparts—was left scrambling for alternate office space after Hurricane Sandy–related flooding forced the closure of its downtown Manhattan headquarters, the immigration-focused firm took refuge in a somewhat unlikely location: the onetime home of bankrupt law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf.
Seeking a place to house a New York operation that numbers 80 lawyers and 350 total employees until its 7 Hanover Square office reopens, Fragomen management inspected the 10th floor of the former Dewey space at 1301 Avenue of the Americas last Monday and had relocated there by Friday. (News of Fragomen’s move was first reported by Crain’s New York Business).
