Expertise and Professional Background
Andrew joined Harneys in 2005 from the dispute resolution department of a major city firm and advises on a wide range of multi-jurisdictional commercial and insolvency matters on behalf of major international law firms, banks, in-house legal teams and trust companies.
Andrew has a particular interest in asset tracing and preservation. He is regularly instructed with respect to urgent pre-emptive remedies including freezing orders, receivership and provisional liquidator appointments and discovery orders. Much of this work is high value and trans-jurisdictional, often set against a background of international fraud. As a result he has extensive experience working closely with clients and obtaining target relief on an urgent basis.
As a member of the Distressed Funds Group, Andrew liaises with fund directors, investors, brokers, creditors and insolvency practitioners in providing specialist support and consultancy to funds in financial difficulty.
Andrew also routinely advises parties on shareholder disputes, contentious trusts matters and general insolvency issues. Andrew has recently written a textbook chapter on Asset Tracing in the BVI.
