Corporate real estate advisory firm Citadel Partners\u00a0<\/a>is leading the national office leasing strategy for Melone Hatley, P.C., as the law firm continues to expand its footprint across the United States. Serving as the firm\u2019s real estate advisor, Citadel Partners recently completed three leases across the Southern United States in South Carolina, Florida and South Texas.<\/p>\n

Citadel Partners Associate Advisor Wiley Green and Senior Advisor Katherine Pool recently completed the new office leases for Melone Hatley in Columbia, South Carolina; Laredo, Texas; and Tampa, Florida. Each transaction reflects a tailored approach to the firm\u2019s partnership structure and practice needs, balancing professional presence with adaptable space solutions to support continued growth, Green said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen planning office space for Melone Hatley, we recognize that real estate decisions must align with the firm\u2019s growth strategy over one, three, five and 10 years,\u201d Green said. \u201cAs a rapidly growing, but selective, law firm, the spaces need to be flexible and scalable to accommodate changes in headcount without over- or under-leveraging real estate.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is accomplished by partnering with top brokers in each city, allowing the Citadel Partners team access to market expertise in identifying buildings and layouts that support collaboration, client experience and long-term strategic goals while ensuring operational flexibility for any type of growth, Green added.<\/p>\n
