Alexandra Hammond
Work Department
Head of General Counsel Services | Commercial | Retail & Consumer
Position
Alexandra specialises in advising clients who operate in the retail and consumer sector on contract and consumer law. Her extensive in-house experience means she understands the demands that stakeholders can put on an in-house legal function and how to manage expectations and prioritise tasks based on business risk and strategic importance.
Always looking to achieve clients’ goals whilst working collaboratively in a positive environment, she takes the time to understand each client’s needs and mirrors their culture and ethos in her communication style in order to become an extension of their team.
Alexandra also acts as interim General Counsel for key clients, predominantly in the retail and leisure sector, whilst they source a more permanent solution. These roles mean she works directly with each business’ key stakeholders and helps to manage business risks whilst supporting new projects, which drive growth and revenue for these organisations.
