What would you do?

You already have several suggestions. Here is a quickie done in photoshop.


I would not have him looking down at the camera. Skin tones are
pale, and very contrasty. Why is one side of his face in deep
shadows?

The lights aren’t even centered. As others have said, loose them,
or find a way to blend one of them into the background. They look
like props. Not really part of what you are trying to show.

Empty bookcase in a lawyers office?

Not sure where he is looking. Sort of looks like one eye sort of
in your direction, the other towards the ceiling.

The first thing I noticed when I saw this photo is the chalky,
contrasty face. I keep coming back to it, and it ruins the pic for
me. Would have been a deleter for me.

Camera should not be looking up at him. Get more of the shinny
desk top in the photo.

By the way, what’s a Foo Foo law firm?

...overall. I find both the lights and backs of the chairs distracting. Other than that, I think its pretty good.

Maybe shoot "long ways" to the table,so it is the bottom 1/3 of the shot, and with the subject standing behind a larger library, if possible? Just some thoughts.
