She has also been one of MIP’s Global Top 250 Women in IP for many years running.  

Alexandra has litigated all IP rights during her career and has enjoyed particular success in the SEP/FRAND arena having secured the first immediately enforceable injunction on a SEP from the UK Courts, securing the first early listing of a FRAND trial, and securing multiple technical trial wins at all levels of the UK Courts across a breadth of standardised technologies.
