A cradle to grave approach

Being able to offer advice from cradle to grave is one of the most rewarding parts of his work and Alex relishes the opportunity to deliver a first-class service to help clients achieve their goals. “It’s great to see clients achieve their goals with tangible results across the lifespan of a project”, he says.

Alex is known for being technically proficient, organised and a strong communicator.  He describes his approach to client work as “proactive, organised and efficient” and he always strives to give pragmatic, commercial and strategic solutions to his clients.  “I break down and simplify issues so that I can provide straightforward and personable advice for my clients to consider”. This approach sits well with the Walker Morris way of life more broadly – where client service and achieving excellent results is a given.

Alex’s approach has led to him being named a Leading Associate by Legal500, who note his “brilliant technical skills” and “exceptionally diligent and pragmatic work and solutions”.

Alex participates in the Walker Morris mentoring scheme as well as the firm’s graduate recruitment programme.
