All of Fieldfisher's UK locations are based in modern offices, close to transport links. We're all aboard the 'hot-desking' bandwagon but who isn’t? There is nothing better than a modern, open plan workspace that encourages learning and development and a sense of camaraderie.

With diverse teams across Fee Earning and Business Support, summer and winter parties and our Ministry of Fun (quiz nights, cake sales, group runs, sports teams etc.) we really have nailed this collaborative and fun work environment thing.
