Andrew has been an attorney since 2005, and has worked in the legal industry since 2000. Prior to starting this firm, he worked for two years for a trial judge in Chicago, Illinois, and later worked in private practice for another five years for a national law firm that focused on securities litigation and regulation. As part of that practice, he counseled broker and broker-dealer clients on SEC, FINRA and other securities laws, and also served as outside in-house counsel to a number of smaller broker-dealer firms based on the West Coast.
Andrew developed his own niche practice in offering transactional legal services to entrepreneurs and business owners, helping clients start up and expand their businesses, establish trademarks, draft contracts, and generally assisting those clients in many of the other legal issues that small businesses encounter on a daily basis. Knowing that numerous other businesses needed assistance with these types of legal services, he decided to focus his practice on this niche area and open up this firm in 2013.
Unlike many other business lawyers, Andrew has an in depth understanding of not only corporate law, but also complex securities laws. He also has started up and run an entirely separate company, and personally participated in the entire life cycle of that company — he formed, managed, and eventually sold part of it off.
