Andrew is a leading practitioner in commercial contracts across the energy and infrastructure sectors, advising clients in the UK and internationally on complex major projects spanning Energy, Infrastructure, Construction and Engineering.

With over three decades of experience since qualifying as a lawyer in 1986, Andrew brings a rare combination of legal expertise and hands-on engineering background that enables him to engage with technical issues in depth, anticipate contractual challenges before they arise, and deliver practical, pre-emptive solutions throughout both the documentation and operational phases of a project.

Andrew has been at the forefront of nuclear energy law since the mid-1990s, advising clients across the full lifecycle of national nuclear programmes. His international track record spans the UK, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Estonia and the UAE, reflecting the growing global demand for nuclear as a pillar of the energy transition. He is also actively engaged with governments and developers across emerging markets at the early stages of nuclear development, establishing him as a trusted adviser to those looking to nuclear to meet their long-term energy security goals.

Andrew has deep expertise in structuring and managing the legal delivery of major projects across multiple jurisdictions, including the governance of joint corporate and commercial arrangements. His engineering background distinguishes him from peers: where others identify a legal problem, Andrew identifies a solution grounded in how projects actually work.
