Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) has scooped its first instruction for Clifford Chance (CC) trophy client Canary Wharf Group, five months after hiring Robert Mac-Gregor – CC’s relationship partner for the company – to lead its property practice.

The City firm has won the role advising Canary Wharf on a major letting at 50 Bank Street. The proposed letting, to the Northern Trust, is expected to complete next month.
