Career

Andy is head of our 16-strong criminal, compliance and regulatory team. In Chambers 2022, it’s noted that he ‘quickly grasps the most complex of topics to be able to formulate accurate and commercial advice.’ He has almost 30 years’ experience of criminal regulatory work ranging from corporate manslaughter investigations to high-profile environmental prosecutions and investigations by the CQC as well as large-scale police investigations and financial crime.

He spent six years as a criminal lawyer and regularly advises in respect of Magistrates and Crown Court cases. He is equally comfortable advising boards and management on the topic of regulatory compliance and policy. He appeared before the Work and Pensions Committee during the passage of the Corporate Manslaughter Bill through parliament and often contributes to publications on a variety of regulatory topics.

He manages the team across all our five UK offices and acts for clients nationally when they face business-critical decisions and scrutiny by the regulators. He recognises that reputation and livelihoods are often at stake following serious incidents and is invariably involved in the days after an incident to support clients and their staff through the stressful and challenging stages of a regulatory investigation.
