We’re conveniently located near several transit hubs, making us easily accessible to a wide range of clients and contacts.

  • Hallway in Nixon Peabody's DC office; on the right are a series of small conference rooms, each one enclosed in blue-tinted glass; on the left pink chairs and small round wooden tables stretch into the distance along a row of floor-to-ceiling windows
  • A flight of stairs in Nixon Peabody's DC office; behind the stairs, stretching out of view above and below the staircase, can be seen a green 'living wall' covered with living plants
  • The reception area of Nixon Peabody's DC office; on the right in the foreground are two pink chairs with a small occasional table; in the middle ground is the white reception desk with the Nixon Peabody logo on the front; behind the desk is a glass-enclosed stairwell; in the background is another small seating area with a couch and two chairs, and a large conference room behind panels of blue-tinted glass
