Georgetown lawyers are ditching long leases for lockable, month-to-month suites at AdvantEdge Workspaces. Fully enclosed offices, hourly deposition rooms and a VPN-ready network let firms protect privilege, scale staff with each matter, and meet today’s hybrid-attendance rules—without giving up a K-Street-calibre address just seven minutes from the D.C. Court of Appeals

Why traditional leases fail
Long terms lock partners into square footage that may sit half-empty on Mondays and Fridays, but P&L lines don’t flex with headcount. A private flexible office preserves the premium Georgetown ZIP while letting firms expand or contract without a single tenant-improvement dollar.

AdvantEdge’s suites feature four solid walls, lockable doors, sound-rated construction, and dedicated VLANs—unlike glass-pod coworking floors that fail the “door-shut privilege” test.
