Alexander holds an L.L.M. from Leiden University, where he graduated with honours in 2018. Although he chose to study law, Alexander is also skilled in the exact sciences.

Alexander also effectively liaises with the relevant technical experts to prepare advisory memos and submissions which serve his clients’ interests.
Clients describe Alexander as particularly efficient in distilling the relevant facts and arguments from large amounts of documents and information typically present in large construction projects and disputes. This enables him to write advisory memos and submissions which are helpful, to the point and convincing.
