Andrew is a veteran trial lawyer who has been representing individuals, businesses, and investors for more than 32 years. His work focuses on institutional disciplinary matters, defamation, on-campus due process and Title IX matters, and workplace-related investigations. He is known as well for his complex business litigation expertise.
Described by Newsweek as the “go-to attorney for students accused of sexual assault,” He has vigorously and successfully defended students and faculty at disciplinary proceedings facing dismissal or termination of tenure, suspension, or expulsion from a wide range of colleges, universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research programs in more than 40 states.
Since 2012, Andrew has been a pioneer in this specialized practice and, with his team, has litigated more Title IX cases than any law firm in the country. Many of the groundbreaking precedents in this area are from cases litigated by Andrew and his firm.
With an approach that turns thorough defense into the basis of an effective offense, Andrew’s team lays the groundwork from day one for future remedies. Knowing every interaction in the on-campus adjudication process matters — Andrew and his team document each step and make deviations from due process a matter of record.
Andrew’s record of success demonstrates the importance of his aggressive and strategic method of safeguarding the accused’s future, as damage can be done even with a favorable on-campus finding. After any outcome, Andrew’s team is not just willing but has set the legal foundation, to initiate lawsuits to rectify any damage to well-being, community standing, or reputation resulting from unfair conduct in a school’s evaluation of an allegation against a student or faculty member.
