Biography

Alex Clarke is a senior associate attorney in WSHB's New Orleans office, with a practice centered on insurance coverage, particularly large residential and commercial first-party property claims.

Alex was an instrumental part of the team that persuaded the Eastern District of Louisiana - judge by judge - that Louisiana Revised Statute 22:868(D) exempts Surplus Line Carriers from the state's general prohibition against arbitration for insurance claims and took a leading role in the drafting of complex reply briefs to achieve a wholesale interpretation of the statutory provision across the District that under Louisiana law, arbitration is properly considered as forum selection.

Alex also engages in extension motion practice using the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards to ensure that complex coverage disputes are decided by experts in the field. He also represents underwriters and domestic insurers in arbitrations, as well as in state and federal court.

A proud native of the United Kingdom, Alex moved halfway across the world and made his home in New Orleans, graduating from Tulane Law School with a certificate in International and Comparative Law. While in law school, he was an articles editor for the Tulane Journal of International and Comparative Law, and he showed leadership skills as chief justice of the Tulane Law School Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta. Alex has an interest in international law as well as an entrepreneurial spirit, as recognized in his CALI Excellence for the Future Awards in Comparative Constitutional Law and Venture Capital.
