Position

Andrew practises in all areas of family law.

His experience of public law proceedings, in both the county and high court is extensive. This ranges from care/supervision proceedings but also applications in respect of the revocation of placement orders and opposing adoptions. This has lead to Andrew also acting in judicial review proceedings arising out of matters relating to children.

Andrew often deals with cases involving serious injury to children and ones that involve complex factual or medical evidence.

In private law proceedings he mainly represents clients in either fact finding or final hearings. Again his forthright approach leads to practical solutions for his clients.

Andrew specialises in financial remedy proceedings and also TOLATA proceedings. He acts for husbands, wives and interveners in almost equal measure. His busy practice encompasses medium to high value cases. He likes to be involved at an early stage providing advice both on paper and in conference.

At Court his forthright practical approach and his tough negotiating skills often bring cases to a cost effective and successful conclusion.

His cases often involve hidden assets, ones requiring the application of section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act, inherited wealth and overseas assets.

He has advised on Barder events.
