Service update: Microsoft outage

Last updated: 17:00 GMT, Friday 13 November 2026

A global Microsoft outage has affected Outlook, Teams and other Microsoft 365 services for many organisations worldwide, including Linklaters. Microsoft is reporting sustained improvements in service availability and we are starting to see these services stabilise, although emails sent to us may continue to be delayed.

Our teams have arrangements in place to keep client matters moving and to meet time-critical deadlines, including over the weekend.

If your matter is urgent, please call your usual Linklaters contact directly or our switchboard on +44 20 7456 2000.

We continue to monitor the situation closely and will update this page until services are fully restored.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
