DEBORAH FOX
Principal; Chair, First Amendment and
Trial & Litigation Practice Groups
Meyers Nave
Deborah Fox, a member of Meyers Nave’s Executive Committee and the founder and leader of the firm’s Trial & Litigation and First Amendment practice groups, is one of California’s leading experts on First Amendment issues. She has expertise with cases involving the convergence of First Amendment, land use, and zoning laws. She is highly sought-after for high-impact litigation and crisis management and her constitutional work typically involves complex cases with overarching social justice components.
Fox has recently been at the epicenter of several California cases with statewide ramifications. She recently obtained the dismissal of two high-stakes federal lawsuits brought by AT&T and Verizon, respectively, asserting claims against the City of Los Altos under the Telecommunications Act. While the matter was ongoing, Fox led a team of experts to devise a state-of-the-art wireless ordinance for Los Altos that achieved the City’s policy objectives while avoiding provisions that were being challenged.
