Littleton Chambers

Commercial, Employment, Sports

Alex is a specialist in employment and commercial litigation. He joined Littleton in 2019, having previously worked as a solicitor-advocate at Herbert Smith Freehills.

Alex is ranked in both major directories for employment law. He is listed in the Legal 500 as a “Rising Star”, and is described in Chambers & Partners as “superb, great with clients, very responsive and…excellent with judges”; he “operates well beyond his years and his work is first-rate”.

As a solicitor, Alex’s practice was focused on very high value commercial disputes, often with an international element. That experience means that he is often sought out for complex litigation. He is comfortable working as sole counsel or as part of a team.

Alex’s employment law practice includes claims across the spectrum of employment law. He has a particular interest in cases involving the misuse of confidential information, restrictive covenants and claims in the team-move/conspiracy context. He also appears in discrimination, whistleblowing and other claims in the Employment Tribunal.

French

Alex has a First Class degree from the University of Cambridge.

He completed the GDL and LPC with a Distinction before qualifying as a Solicitor (England and Wales) in 2015 and a Solicitor Advocate in 2016.

He has lived in Moscow and practised in Paris, where he worked in the International Arbitration team at his former firm (from 2015 to 2017). He has a good working knowledge of French.
