About Hunter Fox
Hunter Fox, a partner in Gowling WLG's Ottawa office, helps clients with questions of international trade, privacy and cyber security, access to information, and defamation. That work reaches into several industries, especially food and beverage, aerospace and defence, technology, and advanced manufacturing.
Hunter was called to the Ontario bar in 2018 after law school at the University of Ottawa, where competing in international trade law moots brought awards for both oral advocacy and written submissions. Ottawa is home base, yet clients and colleagues in the firm's other Canadian offices rely on Hunter as a national resource for specialized regulatory and litigation questions. Developing junior lawyers and growing the firm's national trade and privacy groups is part of the role, too.
On the trade side, Hunter has taken on significant matters before both the Federal Court and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal. Writing and speaking come with the job: Hunter contributes to the firm's publications and talks about where trade meets technology, how privacy rules get enforced, access, and regulatory strategy.
Hunter has deep roots in the National Capital Region. Away from the office, you'll likely find Hunter out for a run or hiking in the Gatineau Hills.
