We don't just rent you space — we help you run your practice.
The office, the live legal reception, the paralegal and admin bench, and the marketing behind a real Chicago law firm — on flexible terms, without the lease, the payroll, or the overhead of building it yourself. More than 1,800 firms have, since 2002.
Working with Amata is simple.
Three steps from today to a fully operational practice — no buildout, no waiting, no long-term commitment.
Pick Your Services

Choose Your Location
Five prestige addresses across Chicagoland — river views at 77 W Wacker, courthouse steps at 33 N Dearborn, financial district at 150 S Wacker, or go fully virtual from anywhere.
Start Practicing
Move in the same week. Your reception team, your address, and your support bench are ready on day one, and scale up or down as your caseload changes.
Everything your practice needs — in one place.
Use one service or all five. Each stands on its own with flexible terms — and together they run the whole business side of your firm.
Office Space
Fully furnished private offices across five Chicagoland locations with no Amata branding in your space. Add or drop offices on notice — no buildout, no long lease, no waiting.
Virtual Office
A Class-A Chicago Loop address for ARDC-eligible registration, client mail, and firm credibility. Four plan tiers, including Virtual Office Plus with Amata Coins toward conference rooms and staff time.
Live Reception & Phone
Legal receptionists answer in your firm's name, complete new-client intake while you're in court, and send concise call summaries. Live Monday–Friday, 7:00am–6:00pm CT.
Fractional Services
Experienced paralegal, administrative, and executive-assistant support by the month — without recruiting, training, or the cost of a full-time hire. Save up to 60%, and bill paralegal time directly to your clients.
Marketing Lab
The strategy, content, SEO and AEO, paid search, and video that bring clients to your door — built around how attorneys actually grow. The playbook is included for members; you choose who runs it.

In their own words. Attorneys across Chicago's Loop talk about what it means to build a practice at Amata — the space, the support, and the community that makes it possible.

A support system for your practice.
Anyone can hand you a key and a desk. What actually makes a practice run is everything around it: someone answering your phone like they work for you, a paralegal bench you can call on without making a hire, a marketing engine bringing clients in, and a room full of attorneys who've already solved the problems you're hitting now.
That last part matters more than people expect.
800+ attorneys and legal professionals make up the Amata community today — connected through the Amata Community Hub, CLEs, referrals, and the Cognac Room, our private attorney lounge.
Founded in 2002 by Ron Bockstahler, Amata has grown into Chicago's most trusted platform for solo and small-firm attorneys who want to practice at the highest level without the overhead of a traditional office.

What Chicago attorneys
say about Amata.
Amata has been a game changer for my solo practice. The paralegals are sharp, the admin team handles my calls professionally, and I pay a fraction of what a full-time hire would cost.
I've been with Amata at 77 West Wacker for three years. The office is stunning, clients are always impressed, and the reception team greets everyone by name. The flexible terms were exactly what I needed.
The hourly paralegal model is brilliant. I use them for discovery and trial prep, bill the time directly to clients, and everyone wins. The quality of legal support here is on par with any large firm.
The location at 33 N Dearborn is minutes from the courthouse — that alone is worth it. The staff handle my calls like they're part of my firm. Clients have no idea I'm a solo attorney.
I started with a virtual office and upgraded to a private office within six months. Amata made the transition easy, and the networking events alone have brought me two referral clients.
I've recommended Amata to four other attorneys. The fractional support saves me up to 60% compared to hiring full-time. Responsive, professional, and they genuinely care about your success.
