He is co-author of Party Walls, Law and Practice, 4th Edition, published by Lexis Nexis and lectures frequently to party wall surveyors and rights of light surveyors on the law in those fields . His expertise extends to disputes relating to easements, restrictive covenants, access to neighbouring land, nuisance, boundary disputes and property related professional negligence. Andrew’s clients include developers as well as owners of land affected by property development, some of whom are high profile. He is comfortable dealing with substantial and complex cases but equally at home when called upon to advise clients on domestic disputes.
