Clifford Chance Dubai office moves to ICD Brookfield Place
Leading international law firm Clifford Chance is pleased to announce that it has relocated its Dubai office to ICD Brookfield Place, a 1.1 million-square-foot office and retail complex in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
The world-class 53-story property is the largest and tallest LEED® Platinum certified office tower in the Europe & Middle East region and possesses all the key elements of Brookfield Properties’ successful placemaking ethos focusing on culture, wellness, sustainability, and experience. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a globally recognized symbol of excellence in green building and ensures electricity cost savings, lower carbon emissions and healthier environments where people live, learn and work. The development and management of the property are overseen by Brookfield Properties, one of the world’s leading real estate services companies.
Designed in line with the Firm’s Responsible Business commitments and Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) standards, the new Clifford Chance Dubai office will be LEED® Gold accredited. It is spread across 19,718 square feet, occupying level 32 of the building and offering unrivalled panoramic views of the DIFC and Downtown Dubai as well as improved access to daylight for lawyers and staff. Among the environmental features of the new office are smart building sensors to monitor air quality, water usage monitoring, more recycling points and sustainably sourced fit-out materials. Teams will use an online booking system to make desk usage more efficient and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Mohammed Al-Shukairy, Regional Managing Partner of Clifford Chance in the Middle East comments: “We are delighted to move into a state-of-the-art building which is also in closer proximity to our clients. We have redesigned our office layout to foster an innovative, flexible and sustainable work environment for our market-leading teams which reflects our commitment to continuously improving the service we deliver to our clients.”
