In recent years, hybrid work has decreased the need for a fixed office since employees work from home most of the time. Deskimo provides a viable alternative–coworking spaces and meeting rooms for productive work and ad-hoc meetings. For smaller companies, this has been greatly beneficial in reducing their operational costs. 

This week, we had the chance to sit down with Florian Leber, founder of Singapore-based law firm, Aurora Law, and learn more about his work and his experience with Deskimo. 

About Aurora Law

Q: Today, we have with us Florian Leber, co-founder of Aurora Law. Could you give us a quick introduction of yourself and your team?

I am Florian Leber, one of the founders of Aurora Law, a digital law firm based in Singapore. Together with my Singaporean colleagues, we started Aurora Law in response to the COVID pandemic and the need to rethink the concept of a modern law firm. We specialize in providing legal services for startups and SMEs, with a focus on tech and digital innovation. Our mission is to make legal services more accessible, affordable, and transparent for our clients, while also offering a personalized approach that prioritizes their specific needs and goals. By leveraging digital tools, we are able to achieve significant cost savings, while providing faster and more efficient legal advice to our clients. We believe that this approach not only benefits our clients, but also allows us to operate in a more sustainable and flexible manner.

Deskimo’s support for hybrid work

Q: We understand that office rental usually constitutes a large proportion of companies’ spending. In providing a range of workspaces for your use, how has Deskimo helped Aurora Law in your cost-saving efforts?

Deskimo has been a game-changer for us in terms of reducing our operational costs. As a digital law firm, we don’t need a physical office space for our day-to-day operations. Instead, we rely on Deskimo’s app to access coworking spaces and meeting rooms on demand. This way, we only pay for the space we use, without having to commit to a long-term lease or expensive rental fees. It’s a win-win situation for us and our clients, as it allows us to keep our overhead costs low and pass on those savings to them.

Aurora Law’s experience with Deskimo

Q: What do you like about using Deskimo?

There are many things we like about Deskimo. First and foremost, their app is incredibly user-friendly and easy to use. It’s very intuitive and allows us to quickly find and book coworking spaces or meeting rooms that fit our needs and budget. We also appreciate the wide range of options available on Deskimo, with coworking spaces located across Singapore that offer different amenities and services. It gives us the flexibility to choose a space that works best for us, whether we need a quiet space to work or a more collaborative environment to meet with clients.

Q: Which feature of Deskimo do you use the most?

One of the features we use the most on Deskimo is the ability to filter and search for coworking spaces based on specific criteria, such as location, amenities, and pricing. This allows us to easily find a space that meets our needs and budget, without having to spend a lot of time researching and comparing different options. We also appreciate the ability to book and pay for spaces directly through the app, which makes the process seamless and hassle-free.

Q: Which would be your favourite workspace in Singapore and what makes it special to you?

We’ve used many coworking spaces through Deskimo, and it’s hard to pick just one favorite. However, we particularly enjoy working out of The Co. at Downtown, located in the heart of the Central Business District. The space is beautifully designed, with plenty of natural light, modern furniture, and a range of amenities that make it easy to work and collaborate. We also appreciate the community aspect of The Co., with regular events and networking opportunities that allow us to connect with other professionals in our field.

Q: If there’s one word you could use to describe your experience with us, what would it be and why? 

If we had to choose one word to describe our experience with Deskimo, it would be “seamless.” From the moment we downloaded the app to our first booking, everything has been incredibly easy and straightforward. Deskimo has made it so simple for us to find and book coworking spaces and meeting rooms, without having to worry about the logistics or administrative details. It’s allowed us to focus on what we do best – providing high-quality legal services to our clients – while leaving the workspace arrangements to Deskimo.
