Maclay Murray & Spens' new London base

Commercial law firm Maclay Murray & Spens has moved its London office to a new suite at the top of One London Wall, the high-specification office development designed by Sir Norman Foster in the heart of London’s financial district.

The office boasts an uninterrupted view of the London skyline, taking in St Paul’s Cathedral and the London Eye.

Chief executive Magnus Swanson said: "Our new home reflects an exciting period of growth for the London practice, during which we have successfully merged with the City Law Partnership, pursued high-profile lateral hires and achieved high levels of organic growth.

"This is a high-quality space in an excellent location, which will serve as a base for our continuing drive to further develop our presence in London. The most important thing is that it will give us enhanced facilities, allowing us to improve our service to clients."
