Litigation

Consistently recognised as one of Australia's leading insolvency lawyers, Alex's expertise encompasses commercial litigation and general commercial law.  Alex is also an accredited specialist in commercial litigation.

Alex has acted for insolvency administrators in numerous significant administrations, including a substantial number involving cross-border issues. He also represents banks and other lenders, including off-shore noteholders, in the enforcement of securities and recovery of loans.

He has been involved in some of Australia's most significant insolvency administrations including that of the Australis Group (a large pay TV network), One.Tel (a major Australian telecommunications company), the Henry Walker Eltin Group (an Australian mining company whose major creditors were a syndicate of US-based noteholders) and the ABC Learning Centres administration.

As well as advising insolvency administrators Alex also advises creditors and directors of insolvent entities as to their rights and obligations. Additionally, he has recently represented one of the non-executive directors of the James Hardie Group in major proceedings instigated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for breach of directors duties. The outcome of those proceedings is expected to be relevant to the rights that corporations (and if applicable insolvency administrators of those corporations) may have against directors.

Alex is a member of the Law Council Insolvency & Reconstruction Committee and a former national Chairman. He is also a member of the Insolvency Practitioners Association, the International Insolvency Institute and INSOL.
