Alex More
Partner
Executive Committee
I’m passionate and tactical — a sniper rifle, not a rocket launcher. Once I understand a client’s goals, I assess the best realistic outcome and find the most effective path to get there. I’m creative and often find novel approaches and arguments that increase the likelihood of success.
Combining outstanding trial advocacy with deep legal knowledge and acumen, Alex More focuses his practice on bet-the-company disputes, securities and fiduciary duty litigation, digital assets, artificial intelligence, corporate governance, and other business litigation matters.
Alex advocates vigorously for clients nationwide. His work encompasses a broad spectrum of conflicts, specifically including derivative, shareholder, partnership, and LLC disputes. Although Alex relishes the chance to take off the gloves in a courtroom battle, he knows that reasonable compromise sometimes best serves the clients’ interests, and that’s what comes first.
Ranked by Chambers as a “strong performer in fiduciary duty, securities, and fraud-related disputes,” Alex delivers better value than his competitors by devising the most efficient ways to get the desired results. He’s been called “a strategic and pragmatic thinker who is willing to think outside the box.” Clients know that when they retain Alex, he’ll be engaged, effective, and enthusiastic in his representation.
In the words of one opposing counsel, Alex is a “gold medal verbal gymnast.” He uses both his excellent oral advocacy and writing skills to prevail over some of the best-known and most expensive lawyers in the country. Rather than relying on an overbearing and forceful approach, Alex relies on intelligence and experience to intercept the opposing side’s strength and then flip it to his client’s advantage.
With a lifelong interest in technology, Alex has been following the rise of digital assets for over a decade and co-founded the firm’s Artificial Intelligence practice group. Named one of just 24 attorneys nationwide as a National Law Journal Cryptocurrency/Blockchain/Fintech Trailblazer, he’s the rare attorney with in-depth knowledge of both the technology and the regulatory landscape surrounding software startups and clients adopting new technology. Frequently acting as an outside general counsel on these matters, Alex and his team find ways for startups and entrepreneurs to stay compliant and work within the system of law while minimizing their risks and maximizing their success.
