Alexander is an experienced commercial lawyer who acts for small and medium sized enterprises, professional firms and entrepreneurs.
He is well regarded for his expertise in privacy (GDPR / data protection law), “e-commerce” law, intellectual property law and contract law. Consequently, Alexander has a particular interest in the TMT sector where he works with social networks, “app” based businesses, digital marketers, PR agencies and telecommunication companies. For many clients Alexander is the outsourced General Counsel who attends board meetings and is involved in every project on day one.
Alexander builds robust relationships – he still works with certain clients that he was introduced to twenty years ago. Alexander is particularly proud that he is often approached by clients asking him to work with them again as they embark on their post exit projects.
Alexander’s track record as a commercial lawyer in the TMT space is noted in the Legal 500. He is regularly quoted on privacy issues in the IT press and legal journals. Alexander is also an active member of the IAPP – the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
