Alex’s practice is focussed on Employment, related civil disputes and Chancery disputes, in particular disputes related to estates.

Notable Cases

Employment

Alex has a broad experience of Employment Tribunal claims and understands the emotional nuance, client care and detailed case preparation to successfully litigate in the Employment Tribunal.

Alex has advised and represented employees from a number of sectors including tunnelling engineers, bankers, cleaners, teachers, solicitors, playground design salesmen, and doctors.
