Fox & Partners

With a contentious and non-contentious offering, alongside its ‘encyclopaedic knowledge of the law’ and ’razor-sharp analytical skills,’ Fox & Partners‘ partnership practice is noted for its advice on regulatory compliance, partnership transitions, and disputes related to discrimination, misconduct, and exits. The team has a particular focus on contentious mandates, and its experience representing partners and professional service firms in high-value disputes continues to attract new clients to its roster. Catriona Watt co-leads the department alongside Caroline Field and is sought after for her experience assisting with contentious arrivals and departures, team moves, and discrimination claims. Field specialises in disputes concerning rights and entitlements upon exit, performance issues, and post-termination restrictions. Other key contacts in the group include the ’exceptional’ Ivor Adair and Shiv Raja, both of whom advise international legal and accountancy firms, and Ronnie Fox.
