Fox & Partners has strengthened its litigation bench with the appointment of Nikki Edwards as a partner, enhancing the firm’s capability across complex, high-stakes business relationship disputes.
Edwards joins from Howard Kennedy LLP, where she was a partner, and brings 20 years’ private practice experience, including four years at Quinn Emanuel. Her practice focuses on sensitive boardroom and shareholder disputes, business fraud and complex corporate litigation, aligning with Fox & Partners’ focus on contentious employment, partnership and business protection disputes.
Well known in the London litigation market, Edwards is a trial solicitor and mediation advocate and currently serves as president of the London Solicitors Litigation Association. She is also an experienced commercial mediator and was recently named mediation advocate of the year at the National Mediation Awards.
Commenting on her move, Edwards said: ‘This is an exciting opportunity to focus on the work I love to do’, adding that the firm’s ‘values and long term business outlook’ closely align with her own. Caroline Field, partner in dispute resolution and litigation, said the appointment ‘strengthens our litigation bench’ and ‘reinforces our position as a premium contentious employment and partnership boutique in the City’.
