Law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP has signed a 20-year lease to remain in its current New York office location, CommonWealth Partners’ 787 Seventh Ave. in Midtown Manhattan. The firm will lease approximately 315,000 square feet of office space, which will undergo a full-scale renovation to meet its future needs.
“Midtown Manhattan continues to be one of the most vibrant, convenient and accessible locations in New York City,” said New York office managing partner Rosalind Fahey Kruse at Willkie Farr. “We look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional service to our clients in our new state-of-the-art space, which will be designed with our collaborative culture in mind. We are excited for what is to come.”
