U.S.-based legal firms Kirkland & Ellis and Latham & Watkins are set to expand their office spaces in London. This move signifies an ongoing growth of U.S headquartered firms in the U.K.
Kirkland & Ellis, currently having its new office under construction at the 40 Leadenhall Street development in London, plans to increase the previously agreed-upon 215,000 sq ft lease, as stated by an individual familiar with the process. Latham & Watkins is expected to occupy a space that is reported to be nearly 55% larger than its current location. Also notably, Kirkland is anticipated to lease more space than Linklaters, another leading law firm.
