The workplace is shifting fast. These days, choosing an office setup that blends flexibility with meaningful, in-person collaboration isn’t just smart—it’s essential. At Barrister Executive Suites, we’ve built over 20 locations across Southern California to meet that very need. And let’s be honest—making hybrid work really work takes more than just setting up a few Zoom stations. It’s about syncing industry demands with the right tech, people, and long-term goals.
Custom Fit for Your Industry
No two industries operate the same way.
In media and entertainment, location can make or break momentum. Our Burbank & Manhattan Beach offices keep creatives in their energy, with the perfect space for on-site brainstorms and the flexibility to finish production remotely.
For law firms that need the best Legal Office Spaces, our Century City location makes meeting with clients more convenient than ever. Our LA offices deliver an environment focused on client outcomes and building your law firm’s footprint and professional reputation in the Los Angeles area.
Tech companies thrive where ideas collide. Our Santa Monica executive space—smack in the middle of Silicon Beach—connects startups, investors, and remote engineers alike. Whether you’re prototyping or pitching, the community here sparks progress.
What Makes a Hybrid Setup Work?
To make hybrid work smooth and sustainable, a few essentials need to line up:
Flexibility That Works Both Ways: People need options. Being able to hop between home and office boosts morale, focus, and output.
Tech That Connects: Tools like Microsoft Teams are the glue. Whether your team’s in Santa Monica or spread out across time zones, staying synced is non-negotiable.
Spaces with Purpose: Our offices—especially in Century City—feature modular workstations and smart meeting rooms that support fluctuating schedules.
Smart Spending: Office real estate in LA averages $48 a square foot. Shrinking your footprint without shrinking performance? That’s money well saved.
Tackling the Transition
Going hybrid can feel like juggling. Coordinating team schedules, keeping folks engaged, and holding onto your culture takes intention. That’s why our offices are built with both heads-down quiet zones and collaborative areas. You can meet, work solo, or brainstorm—whatever the day calls for.
Culture still is the most crucial factor; whether your team’s down the hall or dialing in from home, strong leadership keeps everyone rowing in the same direction.
This isn’t just a trend—it’s a turning point. Hybrid setups cut costs, attract top-tier talent, and help businesses ride out the unexpected. Downsizing square footage? That’s smart strategy, not sacrifice. And giving professionals a bit more control over where they work, that will assist in your company’s morale and in culture.
With over half of U.S. companies reportedly locking into hybrid for the long term, it’s clear this approach is here to stay. Regardless if you have a company of five or fifty having this type of option can work for all employees of your company whether you are the owner or the intern.
Ready to Explore Hybrid Office Options?
Where do you begin? Start by pinpointing what matters most—maybe it’s face-to-face time, industry access, or just being able to simply choose where you want to work during the day. From there, look for setups that bridge the remote/in-office divide.
Barrister Executive Suites offers this type of office with our Century City location, for example, nails that hybrid sweet spot—modern design, strong tech, adaptable layouts. We’re even rolling out limited-time leasing incentives to help make the transition smoother. Still weighing your options? A short-term lease lets you try things out without the pressure of a long-term commitment.
