Alex brings over two decades of experience advising international and local clients on a wide range of corporate matters, with particular expertise in cross-border public and private M&A transactions, schemes of arrangement, equity capital markets work, including IPOs on the London and New York exchanges, and downstream private equity transactions. He regularly acts for leading private equity firms, FTSE 100 companies, and other high-profile corporates, as well as private wealth and family office clients on structuring and investment matters. Alex has deep sector expertise across technology and Web3, natural resources, real estate, sport, and healthcare, and helps clients navigate the evolving legal and regulatory landscape in Jersey. Before joining Harneys, Alex spent over ten years at another leading offshore law firm in Jersey, where he co-led its Technology and Web3 team, having previously practised as a corporate lawyer in London.
Nicola Roberts, Jersey Managing Partner at Harneys, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Alex to Harneys. His outstanding track record spanning more than twenty years, combined with his deep expertise in cross-border M&A, equity capital markets, and private equity transactions, makes him an exceptional addition to the Jersey team. As head of Corporate in Jersey, Alex will be instrumental in driving the continued growth of our corporate offering and ensuring we deliver best-in-class advice to our clients across the full spectrum of corporate and transactional matters."
Alex's appointment follows the appointment of Katrina Edge as a partner and head of the firm's Banking & Finance practice in Jersey, as well as the appointment of William Lee as a partner in the Corporate practice of its Hong Kong office, both in March this year, along with three other partner appointments in the first quarter of 2026.
The Corporate team at Harneys advises on complex cross-border transactions involving British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Jersey, and Luxembourg corporate vehicles. The team’s significant track record includes advising on high-profile private equity transactions, landmark IPOs, as well as public and private M&A and joint ventures.
