Addleshaw Goddard is set to move the bulk of its London lawyers under one roof, with the national giant in final negotiations to take on new space in the City that will let it almost double its headcount.

The top 20 firm is negotiating a deal to take on the whole of Milton Gate from UBS and Exemplar. The offices, on Moor Lane, would give the firm 200,000 sq ft of space – allowing it to bring together lawyers from its 80,000 sq ft Aldersgate Street office and its 46,000 sq ft premises in Noble Street.
