Alex is a Washington, DC–based nonprofit attorney devoted to supporting mission-driven organizations with legal guidance that transforms ideas into sustainable impact. In addition to supporting the firm’s full suite of outside general counsel services, Alex specializes in advising nonprofits on issues related to employment law and advocacy.

Alex brings a perspective that's rare in nonprofit law: he's seen employment disputes from every side of the table. As an attorney advisor at the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board, he helped decide federal employment cases. At a plaintiff’s employment firm, he litigated whistleblower, wage and hour, and civil rights claims on behalf of workers and their unions. And as a legal intern in the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, he worked on disability rights enforcement under the ADA. That background means that when Alex counsels a nonprofit on employment matters — from HR policies and staff classification to executive compensation and termination risk — he's drawing on real fluency in how these disputes develop and how to prevent them.

On advocacy compliance, Alex's experience as a legislative lawyer at the U.S. Department of Education — coordinating interagency review of federal legislation and developing agency positions on bills — gives him an insider's understanding of how advocacy actually lands in Washington. He helps 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations understand what they can and can't do, from lobbying expenditure tracking and the 501(h) election to issue advocacy, coalition activity, and state-level lobbying registration.

Before law school, Alex served as Research Director for a Massachusetts House Committee and interned in the U.S. Senate, giving him experience in both state and federal legislative environments that few nonprofit lawyers can match.

Alex works with nonprofit startups navigating formation and first-hire employment questions, established organizations managing workforce compliance, and advocacy-focused groups that need a lawyer who understands both the law and the political landscape in which they operate.
