Clifford Chance, like any other inhabitant of Manhattan, knows the occasional pain of residing in the city.

For more than 60 hours last August, the U.K. firm’s office on W. 52nd Street lost connection to its business network. The culprit, Clifford Chance claims in a lawsuit against the city, is construction work at a crosswalk. It’s asking for $127,500 in alleged damages to make up for its lost productivity during the network outage.
