Andrew (called to the Bar in 2001) specialises in all area of employment law, acting for both respondents and claimants, and has been recommended by both Chambers and Partners (as a Band 1 practitioner) and the Legal 500 for over 10 years. He is also one of only a few employment specialists outside of London to appear in the Legal Who's Who. Reviews include:

"Receives no shortage of praise in the market for his distinguished practice representing claimants and respondents. He acts for a diverse client base, from trusts, local authorities and large-scale corporates to individuals."

"Much in demand by both claimants and respondents for his skills across the spectrum of employment law."

"A fiercely bright and commercially astute advocate."

"A very measured and well-prepared advocate. He is very resourceful and gets good results." "His work ethic, attention to detail and robustness are extraordinary."

"The biggest compliment I can pay him is that I trust him with all of our clients. What he does reflects well on us...a firm advocate whose calm exterior reassures clients. His grasp of the legal and factual issues inspires confidence."

"Technically and tactically astute with an engaging personal style."

Before commencing practice, he worked as a Judicial Assistant to the Court of Appeal, assigned specifically to Mummery LJ, former President of the EAT, and to Arden LJ.

He is Chambers' Head of Civil Pupillage and sits on Chambers' Executive Committee.
