About Gerard Fox

Gerard (“Gerry”) Fox is the founder of Gerard Fox Law. He graduated from Georgetown University Law School, magna cum laude, and received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Richmond. Mr. Fox has acted as lead trial counsel for clients such as Vivendi, Clear Channel, and Dow Chemical. Mr. Fox has also represented a wide variety of high-net-worth individuals, privately owned companies, and high-profile entertainers including Tutor Perini Corporation, BMG Rights Management, Dow Chemical, Mode Media, Madonna, James Gandolfini, Anita Baker, Rush Limbaugh, Art Neville, Martin Lawrence, and the Isley Brothers.

Mr. Fox started his career at Covington & Burling, followed by Kaye, Scholer, before forming his own litigation boutique, Fox & Spillane. It was at Fox & Spillane that Mr. Fox achieved and honed his trial skills during the firm’s twelve-year history. He is a fierce advocate who brings passion to each and every matter in order to drive a favorable resolution. His trial practice takes him to courts throughout the country.

Mr. Fox has represented both plaintiffs and defendants and brings to each matter on which he has retained a firm understanding of how “the other side is thinking.” He believes in mapping out a wide range of strategic options at the beginning of a case, fitting the case strategy within the client’s overall set of business goals and budgets, and then getting to a “leverage point” quickly, in order to position the case for a favorable close position for his client. It is his firm belief that preparation, sound judgment, and timely execution are the keys to bringing about a cost-effective and winning result in a commercial litigation matter. He works on both an hourly and, when merited, a flat fee basis.

Mr. Fox has handled substantial matters in the following industries: music, television and motion picture, infomercial, media, video games, talent management, family wealth, trusts and estates, investment banking and security, oil and gas, sports, modeling, clothing, radio, real estate, construction, chemical products, securities, banking, restaurants, fashion, and medical device products.
