About Alex Moriarty

I am a highly experienced corporate lawyer and commercial litigator, who, for more than two decades, has provided high level advice to multinationals, listed and unlisted companies, State and Federal Government departments, and individuals on every aspect of their business or profession.I am known for my ability to confidently handle any complex or sensitive commercial transaction or dispute, and for providing clear, responsive and strategic advice that delivers results. I always present an holistic, end-to-end approach to overcoming any commercial or legal obstacle - never a narrow legal answer - combined with deep understanding and technical excellence in the law.I am the preferred legal counsel for high net worth individuals, businesses and professionals, based in Australia and overseas, advising on every aspect of their business, finance and tax needs. As a commercial litigator and insolvency lawyer, I have run many large and high-stakes disputes and trials in all Australian jurisdictions, ranging from commercial and contractual disputes, trade practices, tax, revenue and administrative law, intellectual property, insurance, medical practice, lending, property and insolvency disputes. While I have won many high profile or important legal test cases, I am equally known for being careful, discrete and achieving superior legal outcomes, while keeping my clients out of the spotlight.My qualifications include a Bachelor of Laws with a First Class Honours dissertation in information privacy law from Adelaide University. I am a High Distinction graduate of Oxford University's Said Business School Executive Leadership Programme and also of Bond University's Centre for Enterprise Governance Master of Laws Programme, where, as Dux, I received the Dean’s Award for the majority of subjects including Enterprise Strategy, Risk Management, Tax and Finance, Corporate Social Responsibility, Ethics and Corporate Governance. I also hold a Bachelor of Commerce, and Graduate Diplomas in Legal Practice and Japanese Studies. I practised first in a top-tier law firm in Sydney, and then as a Brisbane-based partner for national and boutique law firms, for the first 18 years of my career. In 2018, I founded AXM Law as a full service, boutique-sized law practice providing a top tier level of service to clients, and to provide a more progressive, collegiate working environment for lawyers, compared to traditional firms.
