It advises national and multinational corporations, financial institutions and governments. Fieldfisher is also known for its Alternative Legal Services (ALS) operations, in areas such as contract management and financial trading documentation.

In 1998, Field Fisher Waterhouse merged with media and communications firm Allison & Humphreys to complement its IT and internet expertise. The BBC was one of the key clients that A&H lawyers brought to the firm.
In June 2006, Field Fisher Waterhouse converted to LLP status. In 2007, the firm took its first steps into Europe; in April offices were established in Brussels and Hamburg, and in November an office in Paris was opened. The firm subsequently opened additional German offices in Munich and Düsseldorf.
In September 2012, the firm opened its first US office in Palo Alto, California. On 1 April 2014, the firm merged with the Manchester-based law firm Heatons.

Between 2015 and 2016 Field Fisher represented BES Utilities and its owner Andrew Pilley in a number of actions including threatening libel proceedings against former customers, employees and Trading Standards' prosecuting authority Cheshire West and Chester Council. After the wholesale failure of the claim, Pilley was found guilty on 4 accounts of fraud and sentenced to 13 years imprisonment. Shortly after, Partner Bill Lister was dismissed from Field Fisher.
