Andy joined Clough & Willis Solicitors in 2023 and heads up the Corporate and Commercial team.

Andy is an experienced corporate and commercial lawyer with over 20 years’ experience advising clients across the North West.

He handles various types of corporate, commercial and intellectual property matters, from share sales, acquisitions and MBOs through to advising on complex shareholders’ agreements, re-organisations, share buy-backs and de-mergers.

He acts mainly for entrepreneurs and owner-managers across the region and speaks to decision-makers on a daily basis. Andy also advises creative clients who are looking to protect or exploit an idea or process or to develop a brand.

He gives sensible, straight-forward advice on complex legal matters. Years of experience have taught him to be commercial and to look at deals and problems from every angle and to suggest solutions to clients.

Andy trained in Manchester with Davies Arnold Cooper and spent time at Keoghs and Glaisyers before founding his own firm, Garricks, a niche commercial firm based in Blackburn.
