Field Fisher Waterhouse is considering shifting support functions out of its London headquarters to its Manchester base in a bid to reduce its overheads.
The firm is understood to be mulling the transfer of some non-legal roles, potentially covering functions such as IT and secretarial, to its seven-lawyer Manchester office following a strategic review of the business. Discussions on how many and which roles will be relocated are still at an early stage, with any move unlikely to happen this year.
