njlj.com, the website of the New Jersey Law Journal, the 60-lawyer firm has signed a lease for 54,000 square feet at Kushner Properties' 18 Columbia Turnpike, and will move its headquarters here by November.

While Newark has traditionally been a hub for the legal community, "Saiber has decided it wants to be closer to the center of the state, from which it can branch out in several directions," the firm's managing partner, William Maderer, tells njlj.com. "The firm's lawyers regularly appear in federal court in Trenton and Camden as well as Newark, and have business in all state court vicinages as well.

"In September, I tried a case for a month in Trenton," Maderer says. "The fact that I was in Newark was totally irrelevant. I could have been in Oshkosh--it would make no difference."

The firm had been looking for new space for about a year, scouting sites in Morris, Essex and Middlesex counties, according to Maderer. He declined to discuss the terms of the lease, but calls the deal "very favorable." The space at the three-story, 159,000-square-foot class A building had been listed with an asking price of $32 per square foot, with a term through December 2022.
