Expertise

Alexander qualified in 1995 and took Silk in 2017. 

Alexander’s practice is primarily in high value financial remedy claims.  His objective is to achieve the right result as early as possible on the path of litigation and he adopts a strategy to achieve that end.  In negotiation he is detailed in his analysis and resolute in pursuing the right settlement.

Needless to say, there are those cases that do require a final hearing.  In such cases, Alexander comes into his own.  The strategy outlined at the outset of the litigation will have identified the issues upon which the case would be decided and Alexander ensures that the team has addressed each of those issues with care.   The trial is where the original strategy fulfils the assessments made by Alexander at the very start of the case.  Accordingly, in a results based profession, Alexander achieves the required result.

“Alexander is an incisive advocate, who never shies away from putting his client`s case with force.”
Chambers & Partners 2027
“Alexander is excellent on his feet, reading the room perfectly and using a friendly approach when required, while cross-examining to disarm the witness and encourage honest responses. He is very supportive of the client, explaining matters in a clear, methodical way. He is equally supportive of instructing solicitors, happily working alongside them rather than dipping in and out, which is greatly appreciated when dealing with complex and developing issues.”

Alexander demonstrates patience and engagement with even the more terse of clients and achieves their engagement with both the substance and detail of the relevant issues”
