Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP

ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

Avatars everywhere know Field Fisher Waterhouse as the first firm to open an office in online virtual world Second Life.  In the real world, though, the firm stepped confidently into the limelight via a period of aggressive expansion that began to take shape in 2007.  FFW’s focus is spread over an array of practice areas—corporate, commercial, banking, finance, regulatory and real estate law, specifically—but the firm is particularly associated with IT and IP excellence (proof: the firm’s IP/IT and EU regulatory departments brought in close to 40 per cent of revenue in 2007-2008).  Serving a diverse client roster that includes listed companies, multinationals, government departments and trade associations, the firm’s tendrils touch upon a variety of industries, from media to technology to retail.
