Covington & Burling has signed for 86,000 sq ft at 22 Bishopsgate, EC2.
EG revealed earlier this month that the Washington-based law firm shortlisted 22 Bishopsgate and 60 London Wall as it chose to move its London headquarters from 265 Strand, WC2.
It has taken floors 51 to 54 and will move in 2021 to join 13 tenants which have signed for space at the 1.4m sq ft office building.
Harry Badham, UK development director at AXA IM – Real Assets, said: “The letting demonstrates that businesses in London are able to look through the current situation and make forward-looking decisions to facilitate the needs of their staff and longer-term growth.”
