Robert David Fox

Robb is the immediate past managing partner of the firm and has a diverse practice involving compliance counseling, litigation and transactional work for clients in the waste, chemical manufacturing and development industries and on behalf of cities and municipalities.  He is known nationally for his work under the federal Superfund law including handling many high profile Superfund matters such as the Keystone Landfill matter, featured on 60 Minutes, and the Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek sites.  He regularly litigates Superfund issues of first impression at the trial and appellate levels in multiple jurisdictions. 

Robb’s litigation experience extends to class action and toxic tort defense and appeals before federal and state environmental hearing boards.  He also represents local, regional and national clients in the environmental aspects of business transactions, ranging from redeveloping brownfields (he assisted in the drafting of the 2002 brownfields amendment to the federal Superfund law) to managing liabilities in the environmental acquisition and divestiture of multinational companies.

Robb’s personal interests are as diverse as his law practice.  He is a competitive tennis player, a devoted Phillies fan and loves cooking.  In 2012 he was named Top Chef in a competition among Philadelphia lawyers.  He is married to his high school sweetheart and has two daughters and two grandchildren.
