Prior Experience

Prior to joining the firm, Alex worked for Faegre Drinker as a summer associate, performing legal research for the construction and real estate litigation team, drafting pleadings and discovery motions, and reviewing contracts. He also clerked for Land O’ Lakes, Inc., a farmer-owned cooperative, performing legal research across agricultural industries and negotiating contracts.

During law school, Alex served as a managing editor of the Minnesota Law Review, treasurer for the Asylum Law Project, and secretary of the Muslim Law Student Association.
