A dynamic litigator known for his fierce advocacy and unflappable demeanor, Alex has successfully handled disputes involving breach of contract, fraud, antitrust, trade secret and employment claims, among others. Along the way, Alex has earned a stellar reputation for his sharp legal analysis and execution of winning litigation strategies.
Alex is particularly sought after by companies in the consumer products, technology and financial services industries facing complex business disputes and class actions. He has substantial experience defending false advertising, unfair competition and other consumer fraud claims, as well as prosecuting and defending lawsuits involving business torts and financial fraud. What is especially unique about Alex is that he has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in some of the largest and most groundbreaking class action cases ever filed and has obtained major victories and negotiated strategic settlements from both sides of the aisle. Alex brings this breadth of experience to bear for the benefit of all of his clients, which include entrepreneurs, small and fast-growing businesses and larger companies as well.
Outside the courtroom, Alex is a trusted advisor to clients who find themselves in contract, partnership and employment disputes. Alex has demonstrated an ability to negotiate pre-litigation resolutions of many of these disagreements—this by virtue of his extraordinary talent for strategically and aggressively litigating cases when lawsuits do become necessary. In recognition of his successes both in and out of the courtroom, Alex has been named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers Magazine every year since 2022 and was named to the Best Lawyers “Ones to Watch” list in 2024.
