All change at niche City firm Fox Lawyers as sole Principal hands over to three new equity partners
Fox Lawyers, the City solicitors firm founded by Ronnie Fox in 2006, added three equity partners on 30 June as part of a planned growth strategy.
The firm, which specialises in employment and partnership law and dispute resolution, also changed its name to Fox & Partners.
Catriona Watt, Caroline Field and Dean Fuller, who lead the firm’s core practice areas, become full equity partners in the new LLP, Fox & Partners. Ronnie remains with the firm as a consultant, sharing his management experience, providing strategic input and helping to build and strengthen client relationships.
To date, the 12-strong team, including eight senior solicitors, has practised with Ronnie as sole Principal.
Ronnie Fox said: ‘It has been a conscious effort over the last five years to ensure Catriona, Caroline and Dean have shared in the development of the practice to prepare for the future.’
Catriona said: ‘This is the next obvious step for Fox. We’re excited about building for the future as leaders in our own right, while both we and Fox’s clients will continue to benefit from Ronnie’s years of experience. In addition to our core work with law firms, companies and directors, and our particular expertise in City whistle-blowing cases, we believe there is a growing market for the specialist and expert advice Fox offers, not least from the increasing number of businesses in the financial sector that are set up as LLPs, notably hedge funds, venture capital, and private equity and asset management.’
