In the field of sports law, Andrew acted on behalf of the claimant in Iain Dowie v Charlton Athletic FC (2010), a case before the FA Premier League Managers Arbitration Tribunal. Andrew also has experience of claims involving the Football Agents Regulations; and was recently instructed on a dispute relating to membership of the Professional Speedway Elite League (led by Rhodri Thompson QC). The summer 2011 volume of the Entertainment and Sports Law Journal includes an article by Andrew entitled 'All Bets Are Off: Match Fixing in Sport - Some Recent Developments'.
Andrew’s civil practice also involves representing and advising clients on a range of personal injury claims (including RTAs, accidents at work, industrial deafness and Highways Act claims) and commercial disputes. In these fields, Andrew has experience of small claims and fast track trials in the County Court.
