Career
The majority of Alistair’s work is cross-border, which often involves complex international treaty and conflict of law issues. However, he minimises complexity wherever possible and provide practical, commercial, usable advice. His advice encompasses both business and private assets and his clients, most of which are high profile individuals, range from technology entrepreneurs to dynastic business-owning families.
Alistair has a particular focus on working with clients in the Far East, especially Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, in relation to the succession of family investment companies as well as listed and unlisted owner-managed family businesses.
With respect to pro-bono, Alistair was proud to manage a multi-jurisdictional project to provide advice on the various available Ukrainian refugee schemes across Europe.
