Fieldfisher is a European law firm with market-leading practices in dynamic sectors including technology, financial services, energy and natural resources, and life sciences. Its corporate, regulatory, employment and pensions, financial markets and products, real estate, and technology and data practices frequently handle complex, high-profile matters for both UK and international clients. The firm’s dispute resolution team is recognised for its expertise in resolving contentious issues and high-value disputes across sectors and jurisdictions.

A notable part of the firm’s profile is its award-winning personal injury and medical negligence practice, known for its sensitive handling of difficult claims and its strong track record in achieving successful outcomes. Fieldfisher has also established a number of innovative alternative legal services brands, including Condor, Fieldfisher Capital, DLC, Roscoe Reid, and Fieldfisher X, the latter based in Berlin and specialising in Germany’s mass litigation market.

The firm operates across 25 locations in 11 countries, with UK offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Belfast.

The firm is recognised for its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and social mobility. Nearly half of the firm’s newly promoted partners over the past three years have been women, with the proportion rising to 60% in 2022. Fieldfisher has developed social mobility programmes in collaboration with clients such as Peloton, Gensler, and ViacomCBS, and has introduced policies covering pregnancy loss, parental bereavement, domestic abuse support, carers’ and dependants’ leave, menopause support, and neurodiversity.

The firm also prioritises environmental and social responsibility, working with Planet Mark to reduce carbon emissions and providing pro bono support to environmental and conservation charities. Recruitment is a focus, with high-calibre individuals encouraged to apply through its website. Retention rates are strong, and many current partners trained at the firm.
