Alistair French

Spear's Review

Throughout a career that has also included spells at top firms such as Travers Smith, Clifford Chance and Stewarts Law, Alistair French has provided advice to numerous senior executives in disputes with banks, hedge funds, asset managers, private equity houses and insurers. Highlights include securing a seven-figure settlement for a senior financial industry professional in a matter that involved whistleblowing and several types of discrimination.

French also achieved ‘a very favourable exit package’ for the CEO of a bank and brought about ‘smooth exits’ for several senior LLP members at a big-four accountancy firm, ‘avoiding expensive litigation and the enforcement of aggressive post-termination restrictions’.
