OVERVIEW
Alex has a strong personal injury practice and he undertakes all areas of employer's liability, road traffic and public liability work.

Alex has been appointed by the Attorney-General to represent the Government in civil matters, as Counsel to the Crown (“A” Panel), and frequently represents the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Defence in Multi Track claims. “A” Panel members deal with the most complex Government cases, at all levels of courts and tribunals, and often appear against KCs.

Alex has extensive inquest experience, and sits as an Assistant Coroner in Cheshire. Alex frequently represents interested persons (including Government departments, healthcare providers, police forces and families) at Inquests to investigate self-inflicted/unnatural deaths. Examples include:
  • Inquest touching upon the death of "A", who died by suicide whilst serving a custodial sentence for a high-profile murder
  • Inquest touching upon the death of "B", who died by suicide in hospital after he developed delirium following major surgery
  • The "East London Inquests" into the deaths of four men who were murdered by the convicted serial-killer Stephen Port
  • Inquest touching upon the death of "C", a patient detained at a rehabilitation unit owing to a severe brain injury, who died following an epileptic seizure
  • Inquest touching upon the death of “D”, who died from malignant mesothelioma after coming into contact with asbestos whilst working as a headteacher at a school

Recent personal injury cases of note include six-figure employers’ liability claims arising out of:
  • serious physical injury
  • occupational stress, bullying and harassment
  • noise-induced hearing loss/tinnitus
  • PTSD

Alex has particular expertise in defending suspected fraudulent, or exaggerated, personal injury claims, and receives instructions from counter-fraud solicitors’ firms nationwide.

Specific practice areas include:

  • Occupational injuries and diseases (including NIHL, HAVS, RSI and stress)
  • Inquests and Coronial Law
  • Late intimated, exaggerated and fraudulent personal injury claims
  • Public liability
