Principal
Alex Moriarty is the Principal and Founder of AXM Law. For more than two decades, he has provided high level advice to the Boards of listed and unlisted companies, State and Federal Government departments, to small businesses, start-ups and individuals on every aspect of their business or profession.
He is 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, Alex has run many large and high-stakes disputes and trials in all Australian jurisdictions, ranging from commercial and contract disputes, trade practices, tax, administrative law, intellectual property, insurance, medical practice, lending, property and insolvency disputes. While he has won many high profile or important legal test cases, he is equally known for being careful, discrete and achieving superior legal outcomes, while keeping his clients out of the spotlight.
Alex 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 his career. In 2018, he founded AXM Law as a high-end, full service law practice, to provide better service for clients and a progressive, collegiate working environment for lawyers.
