He has designed, constructed and superintended infrastructure projects, has been an advisor during their development, construction and operation, and has drafted and negotiated their various forms of project documentation.
Andrew specialises in the preparation and negotiation of project documentation, along with the provision of contractual advice throughout the life of a project. He has acted for developers, contractors, owners, resource companies, energy providers, suppliers, consultants, to name a few.

In addition to having provided legal services to a diverse range of clients, for several years Andrew was the Queensland Legal Manager for an international engineering and advisory consultancy firm.
