Roseland, New Jersey - June 26, 2017 - Connell Foley LLP announced today that the firm has opened its new headquarters at 56 Livingston Avenue in Roseland, NJ. Known as “56 at Roseland,” the premier suburban office building offers advanced amenities, services and technological capability. The custom-designed, 75,000-square foot space houses the attorneys and staff from Connell Foley’s previous Roseland headquarters at 85 Livingston Ave. The firm continues to also have offices in Jersey City, Newark, Cherry Hill, New York and Philadelphia.

“Thirty years at 85 Livingston served us well, but it was time to make a change in location as well as approach,” said Managing Partner Philip F. McGovern Jr. “Today’s technology and client needs require us to be even more nimble, responsive and collaborative.  In continuing to build our platform for the future, it is a positive and exciting step for us to know we will be servicing our present and future clients at a state-of-the-art office campus.”
