Andrew Rogerson

STEP

Over 44 years in a number of jurisdictions from Belize to Singapore, Andrew has acted for High and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals and families: behind the scenes, structuring assets: protecting assets. Of these sensitive matters nothing may be written.

But significant and high value with litigation, in which Andrew has appeared as counsel, some are widely reported. For example the most recent and leading decsion on undue influence and testamentary capacity, specifically insane delusion; Roe v Roe 2022 ONSC 5821 (CanLII), https://canlii.ca/t/jt3xk affirmed on appeal 2024 ONCA 349 (CanLII), https://canlii.ca/t/k4gj0

The many facetted defence of Canadian resident family members of the late Mr James Ting (Singer Sewing Machine; Sansui; Semi-Tech Global; Akai Holdings) in cross border bankruptcy proceedings and actions by liquidators in a number of countries. Leave applications made to Supreme Court of Canada on enforcement of Letter of Request from the High Court of Hong Kong of Hong Kong orders https://www.scc-csc.ca/cases-dossiers/search-recherche/38804/ and on contempt convictions arising from attempts to examine family member: https://www.scc-csc.ca/cases-dossiers/search-recherche/39824/#summary

Andrew represents professionals before disciplinary tribunals: with great vigor. He believes that groups from the same profession should not be judging their peers and competitors. Some years ago, The Law Society of England and Wales lost its power to discipline solicitors because it was doing a very bad job. Several Australian states have followed suit an transferred adjudication to to the courts: where they belong.
