Alexandra acts for clients on a broad range of commercial disputes, with a particular focus on competition litigation. This includes advising on large-scale, multi-party litigation and collective actions involving complex regulatory and legal issues.
Alongside her contentious work, Alexandra has experience in financial crime matters, including fraud, bribery and money laundering. Before joining RPC's commercial litigation team, Alexandra advised corporates (including FTSE 100 companies and multinationals) and high-net-worth individuals on internal investigations, risk assessments and compliance programmes. She continues to work on selected matters involving anti-corruption and financial crime issues.
"By focusing on the specific context and pressures my clients face, I am able to provide straightforward, tailored advice that meets their needs."
"I work with clients across a wide range of sectors, each with its own unique challenges. I’m passionate about learning how different industries operate and finding solutions that are both effective and commercially realistic. By focusing on the specific context and pressures my clients face, I am able to provide straightforward and tailored advice that meets their needs.
I also have significant international experience, and have advised companies with operations in Europe, the Middle East and beyond on various compliance issues. I am fluent in Russian and Spanish which allows me to communicate directly in cross-border matters and get more involved in international work."
Alexandra's recent work highlights:
Acting for a class representative against six water companies in relation to their alleged abuses of a dominant position by providing misleading information to the relevant regulatory bodies, the Environment Agency, and the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat).
Working as part of an independent reviewer team appointed by the court in connection with a Deferred Prosecution Agreement, which involved providing advice to a UK based company on the implementation and enhancement of its compliance controls.
Managing escalations from NEOM’s Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) process, including collaborating with analysts and subject matter experts to respond to complex risks and provide comprehensive risk recommendations.
