Alex has worked with families, children and local authorities in his work as a family lawyer since 2007. He is well regarded as an advocate and is highly persuasive both in court and out.

He achieves lasting results that few others can for families to progress from the situations they are in with meaning and purpose.

In addition to his legal practice, Alex is frequently invited to speak at conferences and training events focused on family law, dispute resolution, and child welfare. His dual role as both practitioner and academic allows him to bridge the gap between legal theory and its practical application, making his insights especially valuable for fellow professionals and students alike.

He is also passionate about promoting mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as a means of resolving family conflict in a less adversarial and more constructive manner. His work in mediation not only supports parties in finding mutual understanding, but also often helps prevent the emotional toll and financial burden of lengthy court battles.

His compassionate approach and unwavering dedication to achieving the best outcomes for children and families have earned him wide respect among peers and clients.
