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. Before becoming a solicitor, Alex worked for over 15 years across the arts and education sectors as a self-employed musician and music teacher, a background which places him in a unique position to connect with and understand the perspectives of both public and private sector clients. 

Alex is committed to promoting inclusivity, fair working practices and social mobility. He actively supports the firm’s FAIRE initiative, regularly giving his time to supervise students attending the FAIRE work experience programme and speak at careers and insight events for young people. Alex is also a member of the Sports and Social Committee which plays an important role in organising and promoting events which help support the firm’s charitable causes.
