Prince-Alex’s practice focuses on international dispute resolution, complex commercial litigation, and the firm’s Africa desk. Since joining Diaz Reus, he has successfully represented multinational clients in high-stakes litigation and arbitration matters. These include a landmark argument on the application of Florida’s newly enacted statute (§ 48.197(c)) concerning email service on foreign defendants and the successful defense against a $40 million arbitration award enforcement action in federal court by distinguishing New York long-arm jurisdiction from underlying causes of action abroad. He regularly advises and represents parties in cross-border, multimillion-dollar commercial disputes.

Before joining Diaz Reus, Prince-Alex practiced at one of Nigeria’s largest international law firms, where he routinely represented Fortune 500 companies and other multinationals in litigation and corporate advisory matters. He also interned at the Permanent Court of Arbitration/International Council for Commercial Arbitration in The Hague, where he assisted with investor-state dispute assessments and contributed to the efforts of the Informal Working Group on International Arbitration at the Hague Conference on Private International Law. As a Research Assistant at the American Law Institute (ALI) and Penn State Law, he worked on the Restatement of the Law: The U.S. Law of International Commercial Arbitration and Investor-State Arbitration, focusing on the preclusive effects of arbitral awards and procedural fairness issues under the supervision of Professor Catherine Rogers.

An active thought leader, Prince-Alex’s scholarly works span image rights in Nigeria—still cited as seminal on the subject in the face of limited regulatory guidance—to ethics in international arbitration. His peer-reviewed article, “International Arbitration: Transnational Debate and Ethics Quagmire,” was listed by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) in its bibliography of recent writings relevant to its work. He has also co-authored authoritative guides on arbitration in Nigeria for the International Bar Association and Practical Law, and published commentary in the Kluwer Arbitration Blog. A founding Co-Chair of the Lagos Court of Arbitration–Young Arbitrators Network (LCA-YAN), he pioneered the annual LCA-YAN Moot Competition and helped reestablish a Nigerian team at the Vis Moot. He currently serves as a FINRA Arbitrator and a Steering Committee Member of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution’s (CPR) New York Africa Arbitration Day.
