Eversheds Sutherland, one of the world's largest full-service law firms, has relocated its Atlanta offices to the top floors of Bank of America Plaza, the tallest building in the Southeast. The firm will occupy four full floors, from the 49th through 52nd levels, offering panoramic city views. Eversheds Sutherland cited the tower's central Midtown location, efficient floorplans, and new amenities as key factors in their decision to move.

Why it matters

Bank of America Plaza has undergone significant renovations in recent years as part of a broader effort to reposition the iconic skyscraper. Securing a major tenant like Eversheds Sutherland is a significant leasing win that demonstrates the building's continued appeal to high-profile companies seeking modern, amenity-rich office space in the heart of Atlanta's thriving Midtown district.

The details

Eversheds Sutherland's new 94,000-square-foot space at Bank of America Plaza will include a full floor dedicated to employee amenities such as a boardroom, conference center, wellness facilities, and a lounge. The remaining three practice floors will feature refreshment areas, wellness rooms, and mothers' rooms. The firm's total headcount at the Atlanta office will be 352 employees.

  • Eversheds Sutherland previously operated at 999 Peachtree St. in Midtown for more than 35 years.
  • Building owner CP Group started $50 million in upgrades to Bank of America Plaza in 2023 as part of the tower's 'The South Star' rebranding efforts.
