Position

Alex is a “very hard-working and skilled litigator with top City pedigree” (Legal 500, 2022). He is listed as a key lawyer in the Legal 500 for both banking litigation and professional negligence and is sought out for high-value and strategically complex matters, often involving multi-jurisdictional elements. Client feedback has praised Alex’s strategic insight, ability to think outside the box, diligence and commercial approach.

Alex’s clients include FTSE100 listed companies, banks, professional service firms (including law firms), funds, private equity firms, high-net-worth individuals (including sports and media personalities), insolvency practitioners and start-ups in the tech sector.

His expertise encompasses mis-selling, fraud, professional negligence and shareholder/M&A disputes. Alex also has deep experience of high value and complex group litigation. He has acted for both claimants (Ingenious and Eclipse litigations) and defendants (RBS and Post Office litigations) in group litigation and has considerable experience of all aspects of the legal and procedural intricacies of such cases.

Alex studied International History (BA, first) and the History of International Relations (MSc, distinction) at LSE before completing his LLB and LPC at BPP. After that, Alex trained and qualified at Herbert Smith Freehills before joining Stewarts in 2020.
