Clifford Chance (CC) is to consolidate its 450-lawyer New York practice under one roof after securing a deal to move its Manhattan operations to a new US site owned by Deutsche Bank.

CC will take the space, which hands the London-based giant an additional 27,000 sq ft in the US’ legal capital, on a 20-year lease. The site comprises 380,000 sq ft across 14 floors in an office based on 52nd Street.
