ADVISORY & ADVOCACY
Almost four decades of courtroom advocacy have trained Andrew to absorb complex records, test competing accounts, recognise what is missing and make clear decisions when facts and consequences are contested.
Andrew maintains his court practice.
That experience is not a separate credential attached to the creative work. It is the method within it.

APPROACH
Experience applied with purpose.
Andrew’s advisory practice moves across public advocacy, publishing, documentary, television and strategic advisory, each building upon the experience gained in the last.
The result is an uncommon combination of skills that enables him to contribute across the development, production and communication of complex stories.
He is equally comfortable discussing narrative structure with writers, editorial questions with producers, legal process with directors, governance with organisations and public trust with institutional leaders.
That breadth allows him to move comfortably between creative and strategic conversations while maintaining a consistent focus on authenticity, integrity and thoughtful decision-making.
