ABOUT

Introduction

Andrew is a senior employment lawyer with over 30 years’ experience advising national and international clients across the full range of employment law matters. He trained and worked in London with Lee Bolton Monier-Williams before joining international law firm Womble Bond Dickinson, and subsequently became the retained employment lawyer for the Retail Motor Industry Federation.

He supports start-ups, fast-growth businesses and larger, more established organisations that need pragmatic, cost-effective employment advice. Andrew is known for becoming an integrated part of the businesses he advises rather than operating at arm’s length, and his practice combines hands-on legal support with expertise as a qualified mediator and experienced employment trainer.

His work covers the full range of employment law: drafting contracts and policies, disciplinary and grievance matters, discrimination, change management and redundancy, TUPE and business transfers, and settlement agreements.

Behind the lawyer

Outside of work, Andrew enjoys spending time with his large family and tries to keep fit by regularly hiking, golfing, swimming, plus the odd game of tennis. He is a keen gardener and a bit of a history buff too. Oenology is a fairly new interest and much healthier than amassing a huge wine collection to drink.

Where Andrew can help

"Having worked with Andrew across several companies over many years, I have always found him to be approachable, pragmatic and highly effective. He translates complex employment law into clear language and actionable advice. Rather than just delivering strict legal standpoints, Andrew highlights the commercial reality of each decision, outlining potential alternative approaches. This enables us to make confident, well-informed choices, backed by his step-by-step guidance. Andrew’s prompt responses and supportive, engaging approach are the hallmarks of his service. I have already recommended him to another business, which is the ultimate testament to my confidence in his expertise.”
