There are three main trends in the corporate spatial organization of producer services: the urban fix of firms, the internationalization of firms, and the spatial organization used to coordinate the work of firms. Short case studies of accountancy, executive search, and executive education producer service firms are used to illustrate the key themes. The overriding message is that it is impossible to understand the organization of producer services without taking their spatiality into account.
