About

Andrew is Head of Commercial Litigation. He has delivered closely considered but pragmatic advice to clients in the UK, EU and worldwide as a Stevens & Bolton partner since 2000, both in a purely advisory capacity and in relation to the conduct of litigation or arbitration proceedings.

He has gained particular expertise in disputes arising from corporate transactions, advising buyers and sellers on breach of warranty, tax and earn-out claims, as well as claims against professionals where things have gone wrong. Likewise, shareholder disputes, acting for clients in numerous unfair prejudice proceedings.

Andrew enjoys working collaboratively with in-house legal teams for the firm’s larger clients as much as he does supporting owners of smaller businesses and individuals for whom commercial disputes will present a particular challenge.
