Practice Areas

Alex Berengaut is a nationally recognized litigator who represents clients in commercial disputes and government enforcement proceedings. He has served as first-chair trial counsel in a range of federal, state, and arbitral proceedings, and currently represents several leading technology companies in litigation and compliance matters relating to data privacy, cybersecurity, and electronic surveillance.

In recent years, Alex obtained a series of landmark victories against the federal government in bet-the-company disputes for technology clients. Alex represented TikTok in challenging the Trump Administration’s efforts to ban the app, delivering the winning argument that led the court to enjoin the ban four hours before it was set to take effect. See TikTok, Inc., et al. v. Trump et al., 490 F. Supp. 3d 73 (D.D.C. 2020). He also represented Xiaomi Corporation in challenging the Department of Defense designation that would have blacklisted the company from U.S. financial markets, delivering the winning argument that led the court to enjoin the designation, restoring $10 billion to Xiaomi’s market capitalization. See Xiaomi Corporation, et al. v. Department of Defense, et al., 2021 WL 950144 (D.D.C. March 12, 2021).
