Russell Ian Moreland Alexander

I am the founder of Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers. In addition to helping clients with separation, divorce, parenting, and support issues, I oversee the operations of all office locations, supervise the firm’s clerks, and collaborate frequently with the firm’s associate lawyers and their own clients.

With over twenty-five years of experience, I am able to draw upon a wealth of knowledge and expertise when serving my clients in all aspects of family law. I have extensive experience working with high net-worth and self-employed individuals. I help them cope with the difficulties of separation and divorce, the division of assets such as homes, businesses, pensions, and the calculation and enforcement of child and spousal support. I use my experience to create unique solutions for each client to enable them and their families to move forward with their lives.

I am an experienced litigator and have used my advocacy skills to win family law trials for my clients. But, I understand that litigation has both an emotional and financial toll, so I do my best to resolve as many cases as possible outside of court. I am a fully trained Collaborative Practice lawyer and a member of the Durham and York Region Collaborative Practice Groups.

As the firm’s founder, I have dedicated my practice and those of the firm’s lawyers to achieving results in a compassionate, collaborative, and client-focused manner. I have worked to create a team-based approach that puts the client’s interests at the heart of every lawyer’s work and at the core of the relationship between the firm’s lawyers and our clients.

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto and went on to complete my law degree at Osgoode Hall Law School. In 1998, I founded Russell Alexander Family Lawyers. My first location was opened in Lindsay, Ontario, followed by the Brooklin office in 2006, and the Markham office in 2010.
