London-based law firm Watson Farley & Williams has expanded its New York City office by signing a 15-year lease with Boston Properties Inc. for 30,400 square feet at 250 W. 55th St. Completed in 2013, the nearly 1 million-square- foot, 38-story tower is one of the newest office buildings in midtown Manhattan with a legal roster that includes Morrison & Foerster and Kaye Scholer.

Watson Farley has one of the largest dedicated maritime and offshore legal practices in the world. It opened its New York office in 1990 and has been a tenant at 1133 Avenue of the Americas since 2009. With a sublease for nearly 23,000 square feet due to expire next year, the firm expects to move in the first quarter of 2016.
