About
As head of department in his previous firm before transferring to the bar, he assisted in the transition of the firm from being largely RTA based, to be approximately 70% non-RTA in nature. As a result, he is happy to work with firms in a consultancy role where they are looking to make similar changes. Similarly, Andrew regularly attends solicitors’ offices in an ad hoc advisory capacity and is always keen to discuss how he can offer the best service to those who instruct him.
Andrew is accredited to accept instructions on a public access basis and his experience as a solicitor makes him a natural choice in such matters. His straightforward and approachable style, excellent bedside manner with lay clients, and commercial awareness make for a winning combination.
Based in Staffordshire, Andrew is centrally located and happy to travel nationally.

Testimonials
Andrew is an exceptional advocate and whether it is a fast or multi track case he employs such enthusiasm that it is contagious. Even when odds stacked against him he will go down fighting for the client. Razor sharp mind with a practical solution all on hand.
