His experience of public law proceedings, in both the county and high court is extensive. This ranges from care/supervision proceedings but also applications in respect of the revocation of placement orders and opposing adoptions. This has lead to Andrew also acting in judicial review proceedings arising out of matters relating to children.

Andrew often deals with cases involving serious injury to children and ones that involve complex factual or medical evidence.

In private law proceedings he mainly represents clients in either fact finding or final hearings. Again his forthright approach leads to practical solutions for his clients.
