Clifford Chance Embraces Open-Plan Headquarters, Defies 4-Day Office Trend

Law firm Clifford Chance has confirmed it is entering the design phase for its future headquarters in Aldermanbury Square, which it plans to occupy by 2027 with a fully open-plan office arrangement. The move is a stark shift from the firm’s long-term base in Canary Wharf, a decision first revealed by Law.com in October.

The open plan working environment aligns with Clifford Chance’s value of hybrid working as highlighted by the firm’s UK managing partner. It is a step away from the industry’s growing four-day-in-office trend, pushing for more flexibility and adaptability in the physical workspace.
