As a barrister who has specialised in money laundering for many years, Andrew is regarded as a leading practitioner in this field.

He is the general editor of Butterworth’s Money Laundering Law.

He advises financial institutions and others, both as to compliance generally and particularly as to the reach of the Money Laundering Regulations

Andrew has defended in complex high-value fraud cases including banking, tax, insurance, construction and insolvency. Often coupled with allegations of money laundering and/or offences under the Bribery Act, Andrew’s breadth of experience and skill-set allows him to contextualise – and thereby humanise – the bald figures that underpin every fraud trial.

For over a decade, Andrew has represented practitioners before UKCP, BACP, HCPC, GMC, RCVS, SRA, BTAS and others.

It is this experience that has led him to contribute, together with Julie Norris of Kingsley Napley LLP, a chapter entitled ‘Reform’ in the ‘Psychotherapist & the Professional Complaint: the Shadow Side of Psychotherapy’ (Karnac 2022).

As an informed and passionate advocate, he believes that reform of this entire area of law is long overdue.
