Florida plaintiffs firm Morgan & Morgan has inked a lease in downtown Raleigh's 150 Fayetteville tower and is preparing a major headcount jump, planning to grow from roughly 15 Triangle employees to about 100. The deal plants a high-visibility flag for the firm in the city center and points to a wave of new legal and support jobs in the downtown core.
According to the Triangle Business Journal, Morgan & Morgan announced the lease on June 8 and told the outlet it intends to build up staffing in the new office over time until it reaches around 100 local employees. The Journal reports that the 29-story tower is the firm's new home base in downtown and notes that Morgan & Morgan currently employs about 15 people across the Triangle.
Morgan & Morgan already lists a Raleigh office and local contact details on its website, and the firm has been airing job openings in the region, including a March posting for a trial attorney role. That March listing on Justia describes a Trial Attorney position in Raleigh and underscores the firm's push to bring on additional litigators and support staff as it scales up its local presence.
About the building
The building's owner, Highwoods Properties, characterizes 150 Fayetteville as a 29-story Class A tower with conferencing facilities, a fitness center and street-level dining options. That mix of modern amenities, along with a prominent downtown address, helps clarify why a growing plaintiffs firm would choose this particular spot for a central Raleigh hub.
What it means for downtown
Industry data indicate that demand in the Triangle has been drifting toward newer, amenity-rich office space, which in turn helps downtown buildings fill suites with tenants looking for visibility and workplace perks. CBRE notes in its Q1 2026 Raleigh-Durham office report that leasing momentum is improving in the market, a trend that benefits towers like 150 Fayetteville.
For downtown Raleigh, Morgan & Morgan's lease serves as both a clear hiring signal and a measured vote of confidence in central-city office space. The firm's expansion could bring dozens of attorneys and administrative staff into downtown routines over the coming months as the market continues to absorb new tenants.
