More importantly, our people are at the heart of that success, and the move to The Lumen will provide the progressive and collaborative workspaces our team need to achieve their best work, with great amenities to maintain a healthy sense of wellbeing.
"As well as being a more sustainable work environment for our people and clients, this building will also be better for the environment. Clifford Chance is aiming to achieve net zero by 2030, and our offices are a critical part of that journey. The Lumen is built to the highest environmental standards, and will feature the latest monitoring and control systems to continuously reduce our overall emissions."
