Andrew has a very specialised Real Estate litigation practice. Unusually for a barrister outside London, he practises exclusively in the field of property law. Accordingly he has extensive experience of almost every type of property dispute.
The Legal 500 describes Andrew as being “formidable in court” and Chambers and Partners states that he has an “encyclopaedic knowledge of property litigation”.
He has appeared in courts and tribunals at all levels all the way up to the House of Lords/Supreme Court.
As a former university lecturer in land law and with over 25 years’ experience at the Chancery bar, he is frequently involved in complex property litigation. He has appeared in numerous reported decisions and his articles on property law topics have been published extensively, mainly in specialist journals.
