Alexandra joined Russell-Cooke in May 2023 upon qualification as a solicitor, having undertaken her training with a leading family law firm.

Prior to her training, Alexandra worked as a paralegal in the private client department of a leading London tier 1 firm, where she assisted on a complex multi-jurisdictional family dispute involving ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

Alexandra's international background, coupled with her language skills, allows her to empathise with clients’ diverse cultural perspectives and needs. She advises clients on all aspects of family law. This includes divorce and separation, financial settlements, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements & cohabitation disputes. She also advises on matters involving children and family law act injunctions.

Alexandra regularly works with the senior members of the team to advise on more complex matters, including those that involve complex cross-border asset structures.

Alexandra works hard to resolve matters in the most constructive and amicable manner. However, if the court route is required, she will be a strong advocate to ensure that her client’s interests are represented.

Alexandra is fluent in Russian and English, with proficiency in French and an advanced level of Spanish.
