Regarded by clients as ‘one of the very best firms in the business,’ Fox Williams LLP has a longstanding reputation for advising clients on the full gamut of partnership mandates, including contentious, non-contentious, and transactional work. The practice has amassed deep experience handling a range of both domestic and cross-border matters, ranging from regulatory compliance and structuring to procedural representative actions and sex and disability discrimination allegations. At the helm of the department is Daniel Sutherland, who combines expertise in mergers with an aptitude for partnership to LLP conversions. On the contentious front, Gavin Foggo and Aron Pope are key contacts in the team and regularly handle litigation and arbitration proceedings related to misconduct, discrimination, and fraud, while Ed Livingstone focuses on regulatory enforcement, investigations, and compliance.
