Career
Alexander is Co-Head of the Firm’s FinTech Practice. He advises on three key pillars:
• the acquisition, divestiture, provision, sharing, and receipt, of data, technology and intellectual property-related services and assets, including cryptographic tokens and digital assets;
• data breach and cybersecurity strategy, communications, management and compliance; and
• emerging and frontier technologies, such as autonomous driving, metaverses, large language models, transformer neural networks, and generative AI.
This involves advising on licensing, research & development, sponsorships, collaborations, franchising, online gaming, ‘as-a-service’ platforms (IaaS, PaaS, etc.), and on consumer-facing agreements and activities, such as lotteries and other promotions in compliance with gaming/gambling legislation.
