Before joining Shook, Alex honed his skills in plaintiff-side class action litigation involving complex oil and gas royalty underpayment disputes. This background provides him with a unique understanding of offensive tactics, which he leverages to proactively mitigate risk and align legal strategy with clients’ business objectives. Alex brings strong experience in high-stakes federal motion practice, including dispositive motions, appellate briefs, class certification briefing and matters involving novel questions of contract law, statutory interpretation and federal jurisdiction. His work spans all phases of litigation, from early case strategy and deposition planning to settlement approval and post-disposition advocacy.
