Practice Areas
Andrew has specialised in Family Law for over 30 years although from time to time he has also advised on employment issues. He leads the William Sturges & Co Family Law Department in their mission to deliver constructive and effective advice to clients and as he puts it “to help clients put their lives back together”.
 
Andrew is a strong supporter of Collaborative Practice and its ability to enable clients to minimise conflict, focus on the overall needs of the family and their children and to retain as much control over their lives as possible.

Andrew’s experience includes:

  • Complex financial disputes between husbands and wives (or civil partners) involving substantial assets or attempts to hide assets
  • Whether the proceedings should take place in England or a foreign jurisdiction and managing the choice
  • Enforcing financial agreements and orders
  • Enforcing foreign orders
  • A parent’s desire to emigrate with their children and the application to the court for permission
  • Recovering children who have been unlawfully abducted abroad
  • Disputes relating to the residence or contact of children
  • Disputes relating to the paternity of children and parental responsibility
  • Adoption
  • Injunctions whether to prevent physical harm to an individual, to regulate the occupation of property or to protect financial resources
  • Disputes between cohabitees
  • Financial provision for children

His clients are from a wide range of backgrounds and include mothers, business men and women, professionals, civil servants, military officers, actors, musicians and artists.

Andrew believes that the problems that arise when a relationship breaks down can best be resolved by a measured constructive approach that seeks to arrive at solutions that work whilst always ensuring his client’s interests are protected.

Andrew is a founder member of Resolution, a member of the Law Society Family Law Panel and is a trained Collaborative Lawyer.  He sits as a Deputy District Judge at the Principal Registry of the Family Division.

Andrew lectures to the profession both in person and by Legal Network Television’s training scheme.
