When Simmons & Simmons, a renowned international law firm, decided to move its Paris office to the prestigious 8th arrondissement, their ambition was clear: creating an innovative work environment which focuses on people, fosters collaboration, and offers an unrivalled experience to its co-workers, partners and customers. With the help of Witco, this dream became true.
The new Paris headquarters of Simmons & Simmons occupies 4,200 m² in a completely renovated building, designed as a "boutique-office". This unique concept offers high-end reception areas, an auditorium, a gym, a patio and a 700 m² green roof terrace, creating a true ecosystem for excellence.
To achieve this ambitious goal, Simmons & Simmons partnered with Witco to deploy an all-in-one app, facilitating daily lives as well as space management. The result is an integrated system offering features such as one-click booking of meeting rooms and desks, flex office management, and simplified access to services such as gym and catering.
The success of this project also relies on strategic partnerships with innovative companies such as Z#bre for occupancy sensors, MerciYanis for incident centralization, Fitness Corporate for the on-site gym, and Foodles for connected fridges, thanks to which employees enjoy access to a wide range of services directly from the Witco app.
This move and the collaboration with Witco mark the beginning of a new era for Simmons & Simmons in Paris. As Jacques-Antoine Robert, Managing Partner, pointed out, these new premises are not only a change in dimension, but also a commitment to innovation, sustainable growth and excellence.
Simmons & Simmons and Witco have jointly created a space that not only meets today’s work needs, but is also ready to evolve for the future, asserting their leadership in creating unique and collaborative work environments.
