Alexander writes extensively on specialist immigration matters, including articles on immigration options for entrepreneurs and investors and intricacies of nationality and citizenship for publications such as the Financial Times, Free Movement and LexisNexis. Together with Gráinne Mellon of Garden Court Chambers, Alexander authored a chapter on Immigration Issues for International Family Law Practice Sixth edition, edited by Professor Hodson OBE (LexisNexis, 2021), and an analysis of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 for LexisNexis.

Passionate about immigration law reform, Alexander has worked with members of Parliament in drafting amendments to legislation. He worked as a legal adviser to the successful campaign for British nationality for the Chagossian community, which resulted in an amendment to the British Nationality Act 1981, allowing adult Chagos Islanders to register for UK citizenship, as well as successful amendments to redress the effects of CSI requirements on European nationals accessing British citizenship.
