Alex qualified in 1973 and, after 18 years with a predecessor to the firm that is now DMH Stallard, moved to London to join Campbell Hooper in Westminster.  At Campbell Hooper, he was a Partner and Head of the Private Client dept, a post he held for 10 years.   

For the bulk of his career Alex has specialised in Estate Planning work for families, individuals, trustees and owner-managed businesses. This includes advice on taxation (mainly capital taxes such as IHT and CGT,) succession strategies, residence and domicile matters, Wills and Trusts.   

Alex has a specialty in law for charities, advising many, both large and small, on their constitutional affairs, taxation and general commercial contracts.  It helps that Alex is Deputy Chairman of St Catherine’s Hospice in Crawley and has therefore hands-on experience of the issues that charities face day to day. Alex has many years experience of representing individuals who have lost the capacity to make decisions themselves concerning their personal and financial affairs.  He has been appointed by the Court of Protection to be Deputy (formerly Receiver) to a wide range of individuals in that role.   

Apart from being treasurer of a cricket club Alex enjoys fishing and golf.
