Andrew Legg
Work Department
Andrew is a senior litigation partner based in our London office. He has a wealth of litigation and contentious regulatory experience, much of which has been international or involved a cross border element.
His practice focuses on banking and financial services, insolvency related disputes, investigations and regulatory enforcement work. In addition, he has advised on M&A disputes, professional liability matters (both claims and defence), TMT disputes and disputes involving complex trust arrangements.
For many years, Andrew has been consistently ranked as a leading individual for both commercial litigation and banking litigation by the main UK and Global Legal Directories. Past editions of Chambers UK and Legal 500 have referred to him as a "switched on" and "user-friendly" lawyer, as "experienced and sensible" and noted praise for his commercial approach and eye for detail.
Andrew has authored many articles on a range of legal issues and presents frequently at both public and private conferences and seminars.

Jennifer Miles stands out for her work on group claims and fraud-related litigation. Andrew Legg retired from the partnership in May 2021 and is now a senior consultant.
