Career
Andrew specialises in complex, cutting edge and high value commercial litigation, with a focus on group actions or ‘class actions’ for major international finance institutions and sophisticated institutional investors.
Andrew is at the forefront of developing securities litigation in the UK, identifying potential recovery opportunities for shareholders in UK public companies. He drove the launch of the UK’s first such claim against a PLC for issuing allegedly untrue or misleading statements to the market – the high profile +£400million case against Tesco PLC for a large group of institutional investors, following Tesco’s admission of a profit overstatement in late 2014. The Tesco case was ranked as one of The Lawyer’s Top 20 cases for 2017.
Andrew has substantial experience in acting on third party funded cases, and of considering innovative alternative fee arrangements with clients and funders, enabling institutional investors to participate in securities litigation with no downside risk or no cost to their balance sheet.
As well as his securities experience, Andrew has an established credibility and track record in acting for both claimants and defendants across the financial services, institutional investment, manufacturing and energy and natural resources sectors, in both the UK and in Australia.
