Alex Lazarus helps senior leaders and their teams, within and beyond the Global Leaders in Law community, make better decisions, exercise influence with judgement, and navigate high-stakes transitions with confidence and clarity.

A business psychologist and former Fortune 500 senior leader, Alex is the Founder and CEO of Lazarus & Maverick, a leadership development consultancy. The name reflects its philosophy: Lazarus speaks to renewal and the courage to rise, reimagine, and begin again; Maverick to independent thinking, unafraid to challenge convention. Together, they reflect a belief that meaningful transformation begins when leaders are willing to think differently about themselves, their role, and the systems they lead.

Alex and her team partner with boards, General Counsel, and executive teams at critical inflection points - new roles, organisational change, and moments of growth through executive coaching and mentoring, senior team and culture development, leadership programmes, and support with talent, succession and key leadership decisions.

At the heart of Alex’s approach is the belief that leaders and teams thrive through bold choices, true character, and deep connection. Drawing on research and lived practice, she and her team have co-developed diagnostics that translate this philosophy into practical insight, pinpointing strengths, blind spots, and the few shifts that make the greatest difference in real time.

Alex was a lead contributor to Leading with Influence, based on interviews with over 30 global General Counsel and a survey of nearly 120 senior executives. She has co-created leadership programmes with University College London, and her writing on diplomacy as a practical leadership capability has been published in Leader to Leader Journal.
