Law office


Explanation:
As said above, Law firm is a valid translation too.
For Law office, see the following examples:

"The Crown Law Office provides legal advice and representation to the New Zealand Government, its departments, ministries and agencies in matters affecting the Crown. This website contains information about the Crown Law Office, its functions, history, organisation and services"
(http://www.crownlaw.govt.nz/)

"Attorney Sheela Murthy, a graduate of Harvard Law School, began The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C. after having gained experience in prestigious law firms in New York City and Baltimore, Maryland"
(http://murthy.com/)

Good luck!
