About Fox Law

Fox Law is a Toronto sole practice run by Paul B. Fox, a barrister and solicitor who has practiced law since 1988 after graduating from the University of Ottawa in 1986. The office is on Eglinton Avenue West and the practice concentrates on matrimonial and family law, child protection matters, and employment law, with a focus on wrongful dismissal and severance. The firm also takes on commercial litigation, covering unpaid debts and contract disputes.

Fox Law describes its approach as trying to settle family and commercial matters through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration before turning to court, treating litigation as a last resort because it tends to be slower and more expensive. In child protection cases the firm represents parents facing Children's Aid Society involvement. Fox Law serves clients across the Greater Toronto Area and Muskoka, and Paul Fox has appeared in the Parry Sound, Bracebridge, and Barrie courts. Legal assistant and law clerk Beverly Lynch, a 1983 graduate of Centennial College, has worked in the legal field for more than 30 years and supports the practice. New clients can start with a free 30 minute telephone consultation.

The neighbourhood

The office sits on Eglinton Avenue West, a short walk from Eglinton West subway station. Also on Eglinton Avenue West is Ben Nobleman Park, home to Toronto's first community orchard in a public park, growing fruit trees since 2009. It's a quieter, residential stretch of midtown rather than a downtown legal district, which suits a small practice that meets clients by phone and in person rather than running a large office.
