Andrew’s expertise is in complex commercial and criminal litigation, as well as employment and environmental law.  He has successfully defended high stakes matters on the international, national and local levels, including international trade disputes, cases of purported corporate misappropriation, antitrust, product liability and minority shareholder oppression.  He has also successfully pursued and defended allegations of unlawful termination in both the private and public sectors, and represents large interests in environmental clean-up matters.  Short of litigation, Andrew has developed a track record of creative business solutions.

Andrew has received Martindale Hubbell’s highest rating of AV.  He was again selected by his peers in New Jersey as a ‘”Super Lawyer” in Business Litigation and is listed as one of the “Top Attorneys in Business Litigation” in the Corporate Counsel edition of Super Lawyers Magazine.     

After receiving his undergraduate degrees from Williams College and The London School of Economics and Political Science, Andrew attended and graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center, during which time he served as Assistant to the Press Secretary and Research Director for United States Senator Bill Bradley.  Outside of his practice of law, Andrew has been associate counsel to the New Jersey State Democratic Committee and adjunct professor of appellate advocacy at Seton Hall Law School.  He is also dedicated to several philanthropic causes, including serving as Vice President and President of Programs for Parents, Inc., an organization that provides support for parents, children and child care providers in New Jersey.
