Position

Andrew is a Partner within the serious injury team in our Manchester office. He specialises in cases involving catastrophic injuries such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, chronic pain and polytrauma, and acts on behalf of adults and children. Andrew is known for delivering clear legal advice in a way that clients understand. He goes above and beyond expectations to provide exceptional client care and demonstrates outstanding attention to detail. Case successes include seven-figure settlements in a complex brain injury case in which liability was contested and on behalf of a client who sustained significant injury to his leg resulting in an amputation, and substantial settlements for clients where there was an interplay between physical and psychological symptoms.

Clients and others in the industry describe Andrew “the best personal injury lawyer I know…and determined not to leave any stone unturned in securing the best outcome for his client” and “an excellent lawyer” who is “skilled at working with complex challenging clients”.
