Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman and Weil Gotshal & Manges are planning to relocate their offices in London. This move is part of a broader trend where American-inherited legal firms are acquiring more space in the U.K. capital, while many of their U.K-led counterparts are reducing their premises. This contrasting reaction to hybrid working is worth noting for industry professionals.
Particularly of interest is Pillsbury’s relocation to 100 Bishopsgate, a new building that hosts a number of large law firms such as Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Paul Hastings, and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. The specific plans of Weil Gotshal & Manges’ relocation remain undisclosed.
For further information on the upcoming relocations and overall context about the U.S-orientated upsizing trend in London’s legal scene, interested readers can find additional details in the original article posted on law.com.
