He is personable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Andrew combines technical excellence with a pragmatic, solutions‑focused approach, and has an impressive command of international tax issues. His background in City and Central London firms is impressive. His work ethic and professionalism is top notch.

I have worked with Andrew for over thirty years now in connection with both corporate and personal tax matters. He is personable and very easy to deal with. I have found Andrew to be technically excellent as well as able to use a practical problem-solving approach. He has a detailed knowledge of international tax issues. His career in City and Central London law firms with shipping practices means that he has a very good knowledge of how the maritime world operates which increases his value to us as an adviser

Andrew is a one-of-a-kind gem, combining wide expertise, loyalty and genuine care for clients and their interests.
With no job too big or small Andrew will go over and beyond for his clients and maintaining excellent long-standing relationships with them and his peers alike.
Unafraid, interested, invested.
Andrew has been my mentor, colleague and peer for many years and remains the first person I recommend to my clients or call myself not only for structuring and tax advice on which he is truly excellent but also other legalese areas on which he has invaluable insight.
I could not rate Andrew higher or recommend him more.

Dealing with Andrew over the past twenty years I have never found him anything but professional and always knowledgeable. His range of expertise ranges over both corporate and personal tax and he really comes into his own when the two overlap. First class professional.

Case Studies
Personal tax structuring advice and corporate structuring advice to an ultra-high net worth Central Asian based family
As a tax lawyer I provided both personal tax structuring advice and corporate structuring advice to an ultra-high net worth Central Asian based family in advance of the IPO of their mining company – involved the establishment of a sophisticated PTC structure with various built in protection mechanisms which followed an extensive jurisdictional review to locate the optimum location for the PTC and the underlying personal holding structure.
Instructed by the UBO and founder of a substantial retailer (supermarkets and pharmaceuticals) based in Kazakhstan. The client was concerned that her existing group of companies had no proper structure and that her personal ownership of the group was not properly organised.
I addressed the personal ownership question through the introduction of a discretionary trust (with protector) structure. The corporate structure was then reorganised with a local holding company being established to own the various local operating subsidiaries. The local holding company was placed under a newly established Netherlands BV.
