Andrew is a Partner and joint head of our dispute resolution and litigation team based in Edinburgh. His clients are primarily financial institutions for whom he acts in a range of litigation matters, including contractual disputes, general banking litigation, recoveries and the pursuit of professional negligence actions.

Recent examples of his work include successfully defending a lender in a multi-million pound claim for damages raised against them by a former customer where it was claimed that they had acted negligently in their approach to realisation of securities, strategic advice to a lender in relation to a major remediation project, and a reported case which further clarified the law relating to pre-action requirements under the Home Owner & Debtor Protection (Scotland) Act 2010.
Andrew joined Shoosmiths as a partner in 2013 following more than a decade at an Edinburgh firm where he latterly managed their banking litigation team.

He provides us with great advice, is commercially aware and keeps us up to date with the proceedings.
Andrew takes a no-nonsense approach to things – he's pragmatic. I'm not afraid to explain a problem to him, as I know he'll be able to help out. His core skills are on the debt recovery side too.
He's an excellent partner and is very good technically.
