About

Provided by Fox Rothschild

Fox Rothschild combines the focus, drive and experience of a boutique litigation firm with the resources of one of the nation’s largest law firms.

Our litigators are seasoned trial lawyers who know how to win in court. With more than 400 litigators coast to coast, we have the bench strength and flexibility to quickly mount an agile and aggressive response whenever a problem arises.

Fox Rothschild tailors its litigation strategy to match our clients' goals and handpicks the team for every matter to match our client's needs, based on how they define success. We recognize litigation is costly, so we’re always focused on efficiency. We use early and aggressive case assessment to map out the most effective and expeditious paths to the result that best suits our client, whether that is a jury verdict or an early settlement. 

In high-stakes and high-profile litigation, Fox leverages its deep bench of talent and advanced technology to promptly mobilize the most effective team. Our flexibility and depth enables us to handle intensive Multi-District Litigation matters and class actions, as well as the full range of complex commercial cases. We also recognize that in such cases the most serious threats can be reputational harm or regulatory action, and work closely with our clients to minimize those risks from the outset.

Our multidisciplinary approach is backed by a full-service firm with attorneys working in 70 diverse practice areas.
