ANDREW ALCANTARA

Partner

Dru brings over a decade of legal experience spanning public service and private practice, with core strengths in litigation, regulatory compliance, and policy advisory. He has handled a wide range of matters—from criminal and commercial disputes to institutional reform and strategic legal coordination—earning a reputation for clarity, precision, and strategic depth.

In government, Dru held senior legal roles addressing complex issues related to national security, governance, and emerging technologies. His work required close inter-agency collaboration with bodies such as the Department of Justice, National Bureau of Investigation, Anti-Money Laundering Council, and National Intelligence Coordinating Agency—strengthening his ability to navigate sensitive legal frameworks and drive multi-sectoral solutions.

In private practice, Dru rose through the ranks of a top-tier law firm, sharpening his litigation skills and developing a results-driven, advisory-forward approach. Now as Head of AJA Law’s Litigation Department, he leads with clarity and composure. His dispute resolution style is both tactical and holistic—anchored in legal principles while attuned to broader considerations such as political dynamics, commercial risk, and reputational impact.

His clients span industries such as infrastructure, finance, logistics, and technology, and he is known for crafting sharp, practical litigation strategies tailored to real-world contexts.

A former law professor, Dru continues to mentor emerging lawyers, instilling the discipline and strategic thinking that define his practice.

Outside the courtroom, he enjoys golf, hiking, and going on dates with his wife—though while he thrives in high-stakes disputes, he’s wise enough not to pick one with her.

Admitted to the Bar in 2012
