Clifford Chance has suspended its hybrid working policy after anti-immigration protests ignited riots through several major UK cities, resulting in hundreds of arrests, vandalised buildings and some of the worst unrest since 2011.

The Magic Circle law firm told UK staff they could work from home if they felt unsafe because of the riots.
