After serving 8 years as Montana’s elected Attorney General, General Fox joined Morgan & Morgan’s complex litigation unit to focus on supporting the Nation’s state, territorial, and District of Columbia attorneys general, tribal governments, and other government clients, on complicated litigation matters in areas of the law such as the tobacco master settlement agreement, product liability, consumer protection, environmental contamination, natural resource damage, data privacy/cyber security, consumer fraud, and pharmaceuticals, to name a few.
