Alex is an associate in the government and infrastructure team. He advises public sector clients on a range of corporate, commercial and governance issues. This includes the establishment of public/private joint ventures and partnerships, governance reviews and restructures, commercial contracts, procurement, and subsidy control.
Alex joined the firm as a trainee solicitor in September 2019 following completion of his LLM LPC and gained experience in both contentious and non-contentious practice areas prior to qualifying into his current team.
