Andrew Marshall is a committed and highly experienced barrister sought both for his advice and advocacy.

Andrew was made a Recorder in 2003 and Standing Counsel to the Attorney General (Crime) in 2005. Drawing on many years’ experience prosecuting at the highest level, and across many different areas, Andrew’s instructions (often through recommendation across prosecuting agencies), in the last decade or so have been in the largest and most difficult or sensitive of cases.

This has resulted in a varied Regulatory & Professional Disciplinary practice, ranging from the largest investigations/prosecutions undertaken by DEFRA (Op Victor), MHRA (Op Singapore), BERR (Op Barber) and the Environment Agency (Op Durable) through to large MTIC frauds (RCPO/CPS) and insider trading (for FCA) as well as equally important cases, such as prosecutions of international arms-trafficking, drug trafficking and money-laundering.

He was entrusted to prosecute barristers for alleged VAT fraud and is instructed on some of the more important Environment Agency and Health & Safety cases.

This practice has taken Andrew not only to the Crown Court and the Court of Appeal but also the Administrative Court, the Mercantile Court, Court of Appeal (Civil Division), Chancery Division, First Level Tribunal (Planning Inspectorate for the EA) (Health Education & Social Care for the CQC), Coroners’ Court and even to speak at the Serious Crime Convention, United Nations in Vienna, at the request of the World Health Organisation.

Andrew is a founding director of Edmonds Marshall McMahon solicitors, where he has a complementary practice in private prosecutions but remains an active member of Chambers.
