The US State Department has signed a deal to sell its UK Embassy at Grosvenor Square with Clifford Chance, Maples Teesdale and Norton Rose bagging key roles. The US will vacate the iconic building at 20-34 Grosvenor Square in Mayfair as part of a scheme to relocate to a new high-security site bordering the River Thames at Nine Elms in Battersea. Property boutique Maples Teesdale, which advised on the arrangements concerning acquisition of the new site (The Lawyer, 13 October 2008), is believed to be involved in this sale, with commercial property partner Neil Sagoo understood to have a key role.
