NORMAN FOX

Norman was a founding director of Fox and Thomas Pty Ltd Solicitors, having commenced work at the firm as a 25-year-old lawyer in 1980.

Norman has more than 40 years’ practising in the areas of rural property, estate planning and business law. His in-depth understanding of rural property law, including in the developing area of water rights, is much sought after as is his ability to nut out the diverse and complex scenarios which arise in considering rural succession planning.

Norman brings to his clients strong leadership, concise and prompt service delivery and a genuine willingness to better understand their situation. In recent years Norman has acted for many major farming enterprises providing advice on water rights matters, property transfers, taxation and business issues and asset protection. His clients include major cotton, wheat and livestock producers throughout south-west Queensland and northern New South Wales.

Norman is a member of the Qld Law Society’s Water and Agribusiness Law Committee.

Norman was recognised as a pre-eminent Agribusiness lawyer in the 2020 Doyle’s Guide following recognition in each of the preceding four years.
