What we do

Over 18 years ago, six partners did the unthinkable they decided to start their own City law firm.  Some thought they were naive.  Some even thought they were mad to leave secure positions in a leading City law firm to begin life as a business start-up.  And, judging by the standards of the time, this was not the done thing.  The capital required to set-up a City firm  and the risk were too great.  Nonetheless Fox Williams opened for business on 19 March 1989.

Today, we have over 60 lawyers and a total complement more than 100 staff.  We compete with the largest and best-known firms in the areas in which we specialise.
