Our History

Michael Fisher and Eileen Pembridge formed Fisher Meredith in 1975.

From humble beginnings, Fisher Meredith steadily grew after opening its first office in Cleaver Street, South London. Offering many legal services including international adoption, housing law, conveyancing, criminal and family law, Fisher Meredith quickly built a strong reputation for taking on particularly complex cases, and winning them in the higher courts.

This reputation as clever, feisty litigators who will fight really hard for clients has remained with us throughout our history.

The firm grew rapidly and moved from the small offices in Stockwell to a purpose-built large office in Kennington in 2004 and opened an office in Richmond town centre in 2010.

In 2011, we now have around a dozen partners, 90 lawyers and are 130 staff in total offering a broad portfolio of services to our clients, whether they be individuals, businesses or organisations

Our Culture

At Fisher Meredith we value our clients. To ensure you receive the highest standards of client service, we will listen carefully to what you require from your lawyer and the outcome you are trying to achieve, and will tailor our advice to your needs.

We take a ‘one firm’ approach where all our teams work closely together to share ideas and to challenge existing thinking and push boundaries. We recognise the need to improve the service we offer to our clients. This enables us to respond to your demands now and in the future.

For over 36 years, we have found that this approach works. We build strong and long lasting relationships with our clients that are built on trust, and our clients return to us as their ‘trusted advisor’ time and again.

Our Staff

We invest in recruiting exciting and talented lawyers many of whom are recognised as ‘leaders in their fields’ of law. Our lawyers are supported by an innovative and creative management team who deliver on ‘exceeding the needs of our clients’.

We are proud of the diversity of the people and cultures within Fisher Meredith which helps to deliver great client service. Our involvement in high profile and complex cases enables us to attract and retain the best people. The firm has won a number of awards including:

• ‘Investors in People’ status 2009 (audited every three years since 2000)
• Law Society Race Equality Award – Best Employer 2006

We believe in the power of teamwork and cross-team working with an open internal and approachable style. We need our people to be innovative with a desire to challenge established norms and extend the boundaries of the law for the benefit of our clients.

Our Corporate Responsibility

Our corporate responsibility strategy is underpinned by four main strands – people, community, strategic partners and the environment.

Our people strategy looks at our responsibilities to our employees, particularly concentrating on development, diversity, work-life balance and acting on the views of our staff.
