Andrew joined Ince & Co as a trainee in 1978 and become a partner in 1992. His practice focuses on dispute resolution and litigation.

As a member of the Insurance Business Group Andrew has in-depth experience of professional liability claims across a range of professions including accountants, architects and engineers, insurance brokers, and surveyors, but most notably solicitors. This emphasis has in turn led to involvement in risk management, anti-money laundering and other regulatory areas.

Andrew’s practice has lately focussed on coverage issues both for Insurers and Insureds in addition to underlying liability claims.

Recent cases include Standard Life Assurance Limited v Oak Dedicated Limited & Others, relating to Financial Institutions liability cover and involving the aggregation of third party claims, policy construction and broker negligence.

He also has experience in reinsurance, Directors and Officers’ cover and policy drafting.

Andrew is also involved in advising on and handling a variety of commercial contractual disputes arising out of diverse areas, including property transactions.

Recent cases include Ross River Limited and Another v Cambridge City Football Club Limited, in which the buy-out of an overage agreement was set aside on grounds of bribery and fraudulent misrepresentation.
