Freshfields has won a new client – Clifford Chance (CC). The firm is advising
Clifford Chance on its negotiations with Canary Wharf to move the bulk of its London-based operations out of the City by the end of 2003.

As revealed on Legal Week’s website last week (legalweek.net, 29 June), Clifford Chance partners voted to move the firm’s London base out of the 505,000 sq ft of office space around Aldersgate Street to about 700,000 sq ft of space in a new building being built by Canary Wharf plc.
