Co-worker review:

Alex is a brilliant lawyer and remains cool and calm under enormous pressure. She gives her client's absolute confidence in her ability to put their Reputation and Privacy first and leaves no stone unturned in achieving each and every carefully thought through strategy.

Private client review:

I live in New Zealand and work in Hong Kong. Alex McCredy and Rory Lynch from Vardags Reputation and Privacy London represented me exceptionally well by stopping a campaign of slander, libel, malicious falsehoods and harassment against my companies and myself personally by a UK based individual. Despite me on the other side of the world, Alex and Rory were always available to address any issues and their response time was without question as well as being just good people to work with. I felt very comfortable that I was in safe hands immediately. We got the result we wanted within a short period of time. I would not work with anyone else in the UK and highly recommend Alex and Rory to anyone who is outside the UK and needs remote representation with people they can trust.

Alex always has one eye on the detail while the other is focused on winning be that early warning to clients about impending reputation issues or fighting all the way to court.

Alex's graciousness, dedication and totemic command of her subject area makes her a joy to work with and learn from. She has an innovative legal and commercial mind that is able to conjure new angles and solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. She is loved by colleagues and clients alike.

Peer review:

Highly approachable, tactically astute and always passionate about her client’s cause, Alex is an extremely good lawyer. Having worked with her on a number of difficult reputational issues over the last few years, she has impressed me time and time again with both her technical ability and her grasp of commercial imperatives, not to mention her ability to fulfil a key strategic role in a multi-disciplinary media team.

Alex is not only one of the sharpest, well informed lawyers in her field but she is also engaging and proactive 24/7. It doesn’t matter where or when you call she reacts quickly and professionally. She is a pleasure to work with.
