Andy is the head of our private client team, with over 21 years’ experience as a qualified solicitor.

He joined the firm in May 2025 having previously been a partner at a multi-office regional firm and a niche practice in central London.

During this time, Andy was featured in the Legal 500 as a recommended solicitor.

As one of our partners and team leaders, Andy contributes to the development and growth of the firm.

He is at the forefront of ensuring that our private client services are of the highest quality, with proactive communication and transparent updates.

He has been recognised for dealing with complex matters in a highly professional manner, delivering communication in a calm and understanding manner in what are often stressful and emotional times for clients.

Andy regularly receives work referrals from financial advisers, accountants, other law firms and from previous clients.

He is always happy to go where the work takes him. You can typically find Andy at our Marylebone office. However, he does travel across our offices and attends home visits when required.

Andy is equally happy drafting Mirror Wills for married couples leaving their estates to each other and then their children or advising on discretionary trusts to utilise business property relief.
