Alexander Paykin

I am a first generation Russian immigrant, a techie, a real estate investor, an entrepreneur and even a bit of a cook. Having emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1989 and having lived in four different countries within that year, I grew up quickly. In fact, I ran my first business in Italy, at the age of 8. More recently, I’ve been a manager and regional trainer of an automotive chain, and then CEO of an IT company and a financial management company. Then I became a lawyer… My life experiences have certainly helped me understand different mentalities, cultures and points of view, making me an effective advocate for quite a few complex issues… My business experiences have allowed me to offer more than the average commercial lawyer, as I can understand my client’s position from a businessman’s, rather than a lawyer’s, point of view… Since 2008, I’ve worked as an associate in a boutique firm, ran a solo practice, been managing director of a small 3 attorney firm and then returned to solo practice. My firm now focuses on commercial and real estate matters and is equally split between litigation and transactions.
