About Alexander
Alexander Paykin trained at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law before launching a varied career that crosses law, business and technology. He began in roles that mixed management and software development, work that later informed his legal practice. Early positions included senior software developer and managing director roles at Spider International and Option Next, which preceded his move into law offices and law firm leadership.
He entered private practice and the legal world in the late 2000s and early 2010s. By 2010 he was listed as an associate at Malik & Associates, P.C., and shortly thereafter he formed his own practice. He has led multiple entities under titles such as Managing Director and President, including The Law Office of Alexander Paykin P.C., Paykin, Richland & Falkowski, P.C., The Paykin Group, Inc., and City Flats NYC, Inc. His corporate roles extend beyond purely legal work; in 2016 he served as General Counsel at LexConnect, Inc., adding in-house counsel experience to his résumé.
Paykin has maintained ties to both technology and legal practice reform. His background in software and product development echoes through his committee work. Since 2017 he has been part of the Legal Technology Resource Committee of the American Bar Association's Law Practice Division. He has been active with the New York State Bar Association in several committees, including the Committee on Technology and the Legal Profession, where he served as Co-Chair and now serves as Chair, and the Committee on Civil Practice Law and Rules. He also takes part in ABA programming, holding a board-level affiliation with the ABA TECHSHOW and participating in law practice management and project management committees.
Colleagues and committee lists show a pattern: Paykin combines operational leadership with rule-making and technology conversations. He has sat on productivity and knowledge strategy panels, the Law Practice Management Committee of NYSBA, and on committees dealing with youth and citizenship. His committee work spans procedural topics such as CPLR issues and practice management, as well as tech-driven discussions about how lawyers use tools and design workflows.
The arc of his career moves from software development into law firm leadership and then into organizational governance and in-house counsel roles. That mix appears consistently in his public affiliations and the offices he has led. He maintains a practice at The Law Office of Alexander Paykin P.C., handling technology-related legal matters, business and corporate law, and civil practice issues.
