How Andrew works

Andrew's approach is commercial first. He wants to understand how the business makes money and what the client is trying to achieve before he opens the document, because a contract that does not fit the deal creates the very dispute it was meant to prevent.

He is precise in the detail without burying the client in it. His advice separates the handful of terms that genuinely affect control, value, or risk from the standard provisions, so negotiations stay focused and the final document is one the business can actually operate under.

Founders, owners, and investors work with him because he is easy to deal with, responds quickly, and gives a straight answer on what to sign and what to change.
