Fieldfisher is a European law firm with strategic bases in Silicon Valley and China with market-leading practices in many of the world's most dynamic sectors. We are an exciting, forward thinking organization with a focus on technology, financial services, energy & natural resources and life sciences.

Our US Team

Since 2012, our Silicon Valley office has provided access to an on-the-ground team of European lawyers who offer expertise in data privacy, technology transactions, venture capital investments, employment, cross border M&A, HR and international expansion matters as well as supporting complex multi-jurisdictional projects. Today we have a team of 17 European qualified lawyers in Silicon Valley meaning clients can obtain expert European legal advice in real time without having to worry about time zones.

Our lawyers have excellent technology experience; many have been seconded to some of the largest tech companies in Silicon Valley. This experience is complemented by a deep understanding of the challenges faced by US businesses operating in Europe. It is not just about providing cutting-edge advice; it is about taking the time to develop exceptional working relationships with our clients. We are flexible, personable and have moulded our business strategy around helping our clients succeed overseas.

We have acted on major tech deals for globally recognised clients such as Netflix, eBay and Peloton, as well as a host of social media companies and e-commerce platforms.
