Billok, the resident attorney in that office, explaining why the firm opened its original Saratoga Springs location. \u201cWe had a lot of clients in and around the Saratoga area and north to Glens Falls, and its good to have an office where they can come and get personal counsel.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He went on to say that during the past few years more attorneys from the Albany office were meeting with clients from the Saratoga area.

Occupancy is scheduled for late spring of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Troy-based Madesign Architecture is designing the space.<\/p>\n<p>Billok said the decision to move to a larger office is the direct result of the firm\u2019s plans to recruit top legal talent. Some of the practice areas for which they are seeking attorneys include trusts and estates, environmental\/land use, real estate litigation, and business tax policies.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><span class=\"\"><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cWe\u2019re open to speaking with anyone who is interested in joining our firm,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those things that when we see good talent we\u2019d like to grab them\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bond, Schoeneck &amp; King is a full-service law firm with more than 300 attorneys in 14 offices, 10 of which are in New York State.
