With a focus on corporate and sovereign debt securities offerings, Andrew's career is rooted in a broad corporate finance 'City' practice spanning equity and debt; secured and unsecured; public and private; structured and plain vanilla. He brings this vast experience to bear in helping clients get the deal they want – complex and difficult when needs be; simple and straightforward when possible. He has worked on financings by issuers across a wide spectrum of credit quality, geography and sector. Andrew joined the firm in 1990 and became a partner in 2000.

As Co-Head of Impact Financing, Andrew works with the firm's clients to future proof their businesses and attract capital in a growing ESG-focused investor market. He has worked on Social Impact Bonds and Development Impact Bonds and other environmental and social impact transactions. Andrew has provided advice to the US Loan Syndications and Trading Association regarding the UK Green Loan Principles and Go Lab regarding Contracting Guides.

He was based in Singapore for three years from 2011 as head of our Asia DCM practice. He has a leading role in our DCM practice in emerging markets and has worked on transactions in Bangladesh, Botswana, Brazil, Columbia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Russia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Zimbabwe. Andrew's clients include issuers, arrangers and providers of transaction services such as bond, security trustees and agents, corporate services providers and escrow providers. He is particularly well-regarded for his work on difficult restructurings and enforcements.

For example, while in Singapore, he established the firm as the pre-eminent international practice advising trustees on Indian bond defaults. Clients praise Andrew's approachability and the directories have recognised his commercial, solutions-based approach: he is a 'proactive lawyer who understands the commercial requirements of the client and is actively aware of the legal issues surrounding every situation' (Chambers Asia). Andrew is 'extremely personable, very easy to communicate with, technically very good and very commercial' (IFLR 1000). In Chambers Global 2014, a client is quoted as saying Andrew was 'a pleasure to work with ... accessibility, vast experience and legal knowledge.'
