Andrea is an accredited expert in family law with particular expertise in international family law, child abduction and cohabitation.
Andrea regularly writes and lectures on family law in England as well as in Germany. He is chairman of the Lesbian and Gay Lawyers Association www.lagla.org.uk and an authority on civil partnership. He is co-author of Model Letters for Family Lawyers, in which he shows how legal concepts can be expressed in clear language that everyone can understand. He is also the author of Civil Partnership, one of the leading text books on this subject.
Andrea takes the view that family law does not have to be about litigation in the courts, stuffy procedures and language only lawyers understand. If court proceedings are necessary he takes a robust approach without losing the overall picture of the issues including the costs of the litigation.
Andrea is a member of Resolution www.resolution.org.uk, the Resolution International Committee, the German Bar Association www.anwaltverein.de and a trained collaborative lawyer. Andrea is fluent in German and many of his cases have a German or other international aspect.
