The claim involved obtaining a Freezing Order over the fraudsters' assets.

Serving a national and international client base, Alex litigates all phases of insurance coverage cases, from initial claim review through trial and appeal. In his practice, Alex represents a broad spectrum of clients, including small businesses with bet-the-company matters and large Fortune 500 corporations that regularly deal with insurance claim disputes, as well as individuals.

He also advises at the policy placement stage in the policy drafting process, participating on the front end and inserting language that helps avoid disputes down the road. In recent years, Alex has distinguished himself by successfully navigating insurance coverage disputes arising from numerous challenges.

These events demanded a sophisticated analysis of policy language to pursue full indemnification for policyholders. He finds profound satisfaction in guiding clients through these evolving and intricate insurance landscapes. In a notable matter involving insurance coverage surrounding cybercrime, Alex played a pivotal role in securing a first-of-its-kind summary judgment ruling for Medidata Solutions Inc.

Alex has also represented clients in all manner of alternative dispute resolution settings, obtaining successful results for clients in confidential arbitrations and mediations.

Alistair Pye

With well over 750 mediations to his name, Alistair is consistently ranked in the top tiers of Legal 500 (including the Hall of Fame), Chambers and Partners and the International Who’s Who of Commercial Mediators. With over 30 years experience in dispute resolution at the highest level, Alistair trained as a mediator in 2006 and built his practice alongside his legal work – initially as a solicitor with a major international law firm and latterly a barrister. Coming from a background in all types of commercial, insurance and property disputes, for the majority of his legal career Alistair specialised in construction and insurance disputes. He has represented developers, contractors, construction professionals and their insurers in some of the biggest and most complex disputes in the UK – in the courts, arbitration, adjudication and mediation.

Amanda Bucklow
Amanda has maintained a full-time independent dispute resolution practice since 1991 and was accredited as a commercial mediator in 1996. She is one of the first career mediators to practise in the UK and she has a significant portfolio of mediated disputes across a range of industry sectors and legal contexts.

She speaks with everyone before the mediation day so they are comfortable that they have someone who understands their goals and interests. This helps enormously with the use of time on the day. They also remark on her commercial flair, creative input and persistence in finding a resolution with a persuasive yet non-confrontational style.
