An APIL-accredited lawyer at Senior Litigator level, he has worked on both the claimant and defendant insurance side with various practices and now spends his time managing and driving forward Nesbit Law Group LLP, which also has offices in London, Liverpool and Leeds.

NLG is a member of MASS, an APIL-accredited firm and an Associate Member of the CHO.

As a result of this work NLG's Allegation of Fraud team won the Claimant PI Team of the Year at the PI Awards in 2012.

Through ARC Alan sits on the MOJ Regulatory Consultative Group for Claims Related Business as well as regularly being invited by Government to Stakeholder meetings on various industry related topics.
