Changing IP Addresses on laptops for different locations

I have an orginizaiton with several workgroups in which everything is on static IP addresses. We do not have a domain to reduce costs. In any event, since I have everything with static IP addresses, when the attorneys leave to go to court or whatever, they cant get on their wireless network because the NIC already has a static IP from our office.

I was thinking of doing hardware profiles but I have never used them before. Is there an easy way to setup a computer to have a static IP when it is at the office, and DHCP anytime it is away from the office? Is there software that can do this in a couple clicks or will hardware profiles do it? They could change it each time but there has to be something easier.

Thanks in advance

rindi, I feel both b0lsc0tt's and my suggestions are quite suitable for the problem presented. Perhaps a point slit is warranted?
Thanks,

Rindi,

Thanks for your time cleaning and helping here. I agree. I didn't respond immediately to see if the Asker would respond or close this but both of our comments answer this. I also suggest a split but hopefully 0_Glyph_0 will reply. I hope this helps!
