STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shipman & Goodwin LLP, one of Connecticut’s largest law firms with more than 140 attorneys and 300+ professionals firm-wide, has officially relocated its Stamford office and opened its new state-of-the-art office space at 400 Atlantic Street in the heart of Stamford’s business district. The firm unveiled the new space during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Jan. 14, 2025.
“We are thrilled to welcome Shipman & Goodwin’s new office to the City of Stamford,” said Stamford mayor Caroline B. Simmons, who spoke at the ceremony. “As a highly respected regional law firm with deep expertise in a range of practices and industries, their expanded presence contributes to our city’s vibrancy and economic vitality.”
Other speakers at the event included Leander A. Dolphin, managing partner of Shipman, Kent S. Nevins, chair of the firm’s Management Committee and Matthew D. Ritter, chair of the firm’s Public Finance Practice Group. To show its continued commitment to the Stamford community, Shipman has made two significant contributions to local not for profits — the Boys & Girls Club of Stamford and the Women’s Business Development Council — both organizations with whom the firm has longstanding relationships.
“More than ever, we are thrilled to be part of Stamford’s thriving business district,” said Nevins. “Shipman has maintained a presence in this city and the larger Fairfield County region for over thirty years, and we are grateful for the relationships and partnerships we have built in this area. We are so excited to see how the City has thrived under Mayor Simmons, and we are proud to give back to the community that has helped our firm prosper.”
Shipman’s office move is part of the firm’s ongoing talent and growth strategy to enhance collaboration, foster innovation and deliver exceptional legal services. The new office space, spanning 17,000+ square feet, has collaboration-focused spaces that promote teamwork across practices and industry teams. The spaces are optimized to provide flexibility and efficiency for clients, attorneys and business professionals. The move also supports the firm’s hybrid work model by integrating cutting-edge technology for in-person and remote collaboration, ensuring seamless service delivery for clients.
The Class-A office building, located at the prime intersection of Atlantic Street and Tresser Boulevard in Stamford, Connecticut, is just a few steps from the Stamford Transportation Center (Metro North and Amtrak) and the entrance to I-95 with proximity to New York City and Boston’s financial corridors.
