Fox Rothschild LLP

Fox Rothschild holds top-tier rankings in Chambers USA for Gaming & Licensing, Cannabis Law, Education, and Real Estate. The firm's gaming practice is one of the most recognized in the country, representing casinos, gaming equipment manufacturers, and online gambling platforms on regulatory compliance, licensing, and transactional matters. Its cannabis law group advises operators, investors, and ancillary businesses navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of state-level legalization and federal uncertainty. Fox Rothschild's education practice represents K-12 schools, colleges, and universities on governance, Title IX compliance, student discipline, and employment matters. The firm also maintains strong capabilities in real estate, labor and employment, and corporate transactions.

Fox Rothschild uses a free-market assignment system. OCI interviews involve two attorneys asking standard questions about motivations, challenges, and interest in the firm, with callbacks conducted either as panel-style interviews or four consecutive one-on-one sessions. Interviewers are specifically measuring analytical ability, initiative, and judgment, as well as genuine interest in Fox Rothschild specifically, rather than BigLaw generally. Associates report that callbacks focus on personality fit and cultural alignment. The firm's culture is described as practical, entrepreneurial, and accessible.

Fox Rothschild's willingness to build practices in areas that most large firms have ignored, gaming, cannabis, and education, reflects an entrepreneurial streak that runs through the firm's identity. As cannabis legalization continues to expand and the gaming industry grows through online platforms, Fox Rothschild's early investments in these areas have positioned it ahead of competitors now scrambling to build capabilities. For students interested in regulated industries, emerging sectors, or a firm that values initiative and creative thinking, Fox Rothschild offers a genuinely different kind of BigLaw experience.
