Alexander Christian is a Law Firm that was established in 2006. It is based in North Harrow. It is a small niche firm undertaking the following areas of work:-
We are not taking on Family Law Matters as we are moving to a Mediation Service. Later in 2024, we hope to offer Small Law Firms in London an outsourced Internal Audit for Anti-Money Laundering.
Workplace mediation is a valuable tool in resolving workplace conflicts and disputes.
Interpersonal mediation is particularly useful where it is likely that the relationship will continue past the issue in dispute.
We hope to add outsourced Anti-money Laundering Internal Audits to small firms in the London area later in 2024.
The Principal of the firm has a LLB (Hons.), LLM (Masters in Law), Legal Practice Course at the College of Law, has undertaken a Will Writing Course, is a (Resolution First for Families Trained) Family Mediator all issues, a trained Civil & Commercial Mediator, a trained Workplace and Interpersonal Mediator. The Principal is a member of CMC (Civil Mediation Council), IMI (International Mediation Institute), and CIarb (Chartered Institute of Mediators).
The Principal has completed several professional development courses/ webinars in the area of family law, general civil and has an interest in risk, compliance, and anti-money laundering.

The Principal is a certified ICA Internal Auditor in Compliance Management Systems, ICA certificate in KYC/CDD, ICA Essentials Course in Managing Sanctions Risks and Anti-Money Laundering, and ICA courses in SARs (Suspicious Activity Reporting). The Principal has completed a specialist course in Anti-Money Laundering Auditing.
The Principal worked as a solicitor for over 30 years, initially with a mixed caseload of civil (personal injury, housing disputes, general civil work, debt collection, and family law), then specialised in family law; working with a mixed client base of legal aid and private clients from all walks of life. For over 20 years, the Principal has only worked with private paying clients who were Low to Middle Net Worth. The Principal has acted for hundreds of clients from all walks of life - from employees, self-employed, business owners, and other professionals - such as bankers, teachers, doctors, police, emergency services, people who work for the forces, transport workers, nursery managers, nurses, and solicitors, and homemakers, etc.
The firm no longer undertakes Family Law Work and has transitioned to Mediation Services. The Principal is committed to reducing conflict and looking at non-court resolutions. The movement towards alternative methods of resolution and non-court resolution is something that the judiciary, the government, ACAS, and Heads of Business and Industry support.
Later in 2024, the firm will provide AML (file reviews and outsourced independent auditing services to firms).
