The origins of Fieldfisher can be traced back to the founding of the law firm Field Roscoe & Co. by Edwin Wilkins Field in 1835. In 1865 Theodore Waterhouse founded Waterhouse & Co. In 1897 Charles Fisher started his articles with Thomas Peacock, which later became TF Peacock Fisher. In 1930 Field Roscoe merged with Treherne Higgins. In 1969 Field Roscoe and TF Peacock Fisher merged to form Field Fisher & Co.
In 1972 Field Fisher & Co. merged with Martineau and Reid to become Field Fisher Martineau. Field Fisher Waterhouse was created in 1989 by the merger of Field Fisher Martineau and Waterhouse & Co. Field Fisher Martineau was located at Lincoln’s Inn House in Holborn, close to Red Lion Square, a very convenient location for the law courts. Waterhouse & Co was originally located near St Paul's Cathedral and in 1971 had just nine partners; at the time all British law firms were fairly small they were not permitted to have more than twenty partners until 1968. The combined firm moved to new premises in Vine Street in June 1990.
