IP firm moves into Shard

Mathys & Squire aims high

London intellectual property specialist firm, Mathys & Squire, has aimed high with its relocation plans. It is due to move into The Shard, a recent arrival in London’s skyline but already iconic. The firm, which has 132 staff across five offices, has signed a 15-year lease for the 15th floor (28,500 sq ft). Paul Cozens, partner, says: “We are continuing to expand rapidly and build up an enviable client base which includes the likes of BP, Chelsea FC, BT and the BBC.”
