Alexander Heylin

Business and Property

Commercial / Chancery / Insolvency / Civil Fraud

Alexander has broad commercial and insolvency litigation experience covering a wide range of contractual, property and regulatory disputes.

His work includes an emphasis on civil fraud, white collar fraud, company, insolvency and regulatory matters, as well as complex commercial disputes generally.  Alexander regularly advises shareholders in joint venture disputes and acts in contentious matters involving trusts and involuntary liquidation. He has been the lead counsel in several long, complex, document heavy cases.

Alexander has conducted a considerable amount of complex contested trials and hearings and therefore is an experienced advocate and cross examiner in highly contentious and hard-fought cases in England and overseas.  Alexander has appeared numerous times in the highest courts and appellate courts of multiple jurisdictions.   Alexander has substantial experience of witness actions and in cross-examination and is well used to coping with the challenges presented by trials and major applications.

Alexander has not only practised at the Bar but also as a partner in an offshore law firm and as a Principal in a New York Law firm. Alexander is therefore used to taking a client friendly and pragmatic approach to cases with an emphasis on providing optimal solutions to client’s problems. Alexander’s international experience makes him particularly well suited to cases involved cross border issues and has much experience working with other legal teams in multiple jurisdictions on the same case.
