Practice notes

Alex is a Senior Associate, specialising in commercial litigation. Having successfully completed the Society for Computers and Law's 'Foundations of IT Law' programme, Alex is an active member of Eversheds Sutherland's TMT sector.

Alex's recent experience includes:

• advising a listed company in relation to its supposed breaches of a suite of software licences due to its use of third party applications which, in turn, trigger functionality within the relevant software;
• advising a well-known manufacturer of luxury cars to defend its highly publicised, ongoing Trade Mark litigation; and
• acting for leading independent communications provider through mediation and ultimately settlement of its dispute with its provider of financial management software (in which the client was accused of breaching its software licence, as a result of the way in which it provided disaster recovery services for a third party).

Whilst Alex maintains a broad litigation practice, he is also particularly experienced in defamation and in assisting clients with general reputation management issues, predominantly being defamation which has occurred online and in the media (including print and television)
