Shoosmiths has moved into a larger London office, bucking a trend of law firms considering downsizing their office space as a result of the pandemic.

The U.K. Top 50 firm’s new office is based at No. 1 Bow Churchyard within the Square Mile, with the firm having signed up to the 15-year lease in 2019. Based across seven floors and taking up 40,000 sq ft, the firm said that the space “will provide the fast-growing firm the permanent base required to significantly increase its presence”.
