‘What sets Fox Williams apart is their ability to seamlessly combine legal excellence with a commercial, client focused approach. Their advice is not only technically sound but also tailored to the specific need and dynamics of our organisation. They are responsive, practical and always willing to go the extra mile, traits that are not always consistently found in other firms. The team offers a high degree of flexibility and efficiency, consistently delivering timely and pragmatic guidance. a recent example was their support during a company wide redundancy programme. The firm readily provided a secondee to be on site, working alongside us through out the process. This on-site support proved invaluable and was structured in a cost effective way, demonstrating their understanding of both legal and business imperatives.
- 'Fox Williams offers a highly personalised service that balances legal precision with human empathy. I do not consider them to be just legal advisors but I consider them to be trusted partners in managing complex employment and organisational matters.'
‘My primary contacts have been Aron Pope and Ed Livingstone, both of whom are outstanding legal professionals. They have a strong grasp of not only employment law but also the broader strategic context in which we operate. I value their calm, thoughtful approach, especially in high-pressure situations. They are empathetic, adaptable and always available, qualities that makes a real difference when dealing with sensitive or time-critical matters. Their ability to quickly grasp the nuances of a situation and offer practical, actionable advice is a major differentiator. Unlike some firms where advice can be overly theoretical or risk-averse. Aron and Ed provide balanced counsel that supports decision-making and moves things forward.'
‘A standout employment law practice – strategic, human, and forward-thinking.'
- 'Daisy and her team represent everything clients hope for but rarely find in an employment law practice: razor-sharp legal expertise delivered with empathy, clarity, and a deep understanding of real-world workplace dynamics.'
- 'What makes this practice truly unique is the combination of technical excellence with an unshakeable client-first mindset. Daisy doesn't just give you the law – she gives you strategic guidance, emotional reassurance, and the confidence to move forward. It’s rare to find a lawyer who is as effective in a boardroom negotiation as she is in a sensitive, high-stakes tribunal case. Daisy is that rare hybrid.'
