U.K. top 50 firm Slater and Gordon has opened an office in London, located at Chancery Lane, despite stating in May 2020 that it was shuttering its High Holborn City base and all 200 London employees would work from home permanently.

At the time the firm said it was hoping to find a smaller office space which will be used to host meetings once the previous lease ended. Its former CEO also said in 2020 that the firm would not ever go back to how it worked before Covid, adding: “We don’t want our staff tethered to desks in offices.”
