Ronnie Fox remains one of the absolute top choices for employment and potentially contentious partnership issues. His firm, Fox, has been very busy since its inception in May 2006, acting both for law firms and claimants. The overall offering was boosted significantly by the arrival of David McIntosh, former senior partner at Davies Arnold Cooper, who advises law firms on regulatory issues.
Fox is listed amongst the leading firms for partnership.
