Alex Hamilton

Alex trained as a lawyer, working at Norton Rose and Shaw Pittman (now Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman) before making partner at the global US firm Latham & Watkins, where he specialised in outsourcing and complex technology deals and co-chaired the global Technology Transactions Group. After a Jerry Maguire-like moment where he wrote a mission statement (not a memo) to the executive committee in 2009 calling for more innovation, he left to found Radiant Law in 2011. Alex has worked in London and New York and is qualified to practice English and New York law. He has negotiated some of the largest outsourcing deals worldwide and has led seven projects ranked in the FT Innovative Lawyers awards. He is a fellow of the College of Law Practice Management and was a finalist for the FT’s Legal Innovator of the Year Award. Alex is also a regular public speaker about contracting improvements, legal tech, and the changing legal industry and has been known to share one or two opinions on these topics on Twitter. Alex is now the CEO of Radiant Law, which means that he doesn’t do many deals any longer but does get to lead a team of lawyers, developers, engineers, data analysts, and designers in reinventing legal services. This has turned out to be even more fun.
