Close collaboration with the Bar

Alexander practises on an independent and self-employed basis, much like one of the 17,000 barristers practising in chambers.  He often assembles a hand-picked team of supporting London barristers, including King's Counsel, when additional resources and expertise would be useful.   Alexander also assembles ad hoc legal teams with foreign lawyers and legal professionals, on a case-by-case basis.
