Alex is an Associate in the firm’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution Group. He is developing a broad commercial litigation practice, with experience in contract, shareholder and partnership, construction, real property, insolvency, fraud, negligence and administrative disputes.

He regularly appears before the courts of Ontario, including the Commercial List in Toronto. Alex also has experience in proceedings before the Federal Court of Canada, the British Columbia Supreme Court, administrative tribunals and private arbitrators.
