JLL has announced that Adams & Reese, a nationally recognized multidisciplinary law firm, has signed a 5,500-square-foot lease at Broadwest Tower, the 21-story Class AA office tower in Midtown Nashville. The new office on the 17th floor expands the firm’s previous space at the tower and will support its continued growth in the market.
JLL Executive Managing Directors Tom Hooper and Bo Tyler represented Adams & Reese in the transaction, while Senior Managing Director Bill Adair and Executive Vice President Ashley Albright represented the landlord, Propst Development. JLL’s Project and Development Services division will manage the build-out of the new office.
Hooper continued, “Expanding within Broadwest Tower allows the firm to maintain a cohesive environment for attorneys and clients while remaining at the heart of one of Nashville’s most dynamic mixed-use destinations.”
Founded in 1951, Adams & Reese has nearly 350 attorneys and government relations advisors serving clients in 20 major cities throughout the Southeastern and Western U.S. and the Washington, D.C. area. The firm represents multinational corporations, regional businesses, governmental entities, institutions, and is designed to accommodate clients across more than 50 practice areas, including complex litigation, regulatory matters, corporate transactions, intellectual property and crisis management.
In recent years, Adams & Reese has strengthened its presence in Nashville through strategic growth initiatives, including the addition of attorneys from Neal & Harwell PLC and the expansion of its litigation and crisis management practice areas. These efforts have further positioned the Nashville office as a key hub within the firm’s national platform. The 17th floor expansion broadens the firm’s footprint, offering additional capacity to support its current team of attorneys and staff while providing the flexibility to welcome new talent and expand its services.
“The building’s walkable surroundings, top-tier amenities, and proximity to Nashville’s key business and entertainment hubs foster a dynamic environment that supports both collaboration and client engagement. We’re excited to contribute to the energy and momentum that drives Nashville forward.”
According to JLL’s Q4 office outlook, Nashville’s office market continues to stabilize as limited new supply and evolving tenant preferences reshape demand. The market ranked among the top U.S. cities for absorption-to-delivery ratios in 2025, reflecting sustained tenant interest in high-quality office space. Leasing activity is increasingly concentrated in modern, amenity-rich properties like Broadwest as companies prioritize workplaces that support talent attraction, collaboration and long-term growth.
