What do others say

“In a negligence case which had dragged on since preliminary notice was received in July 2018, it was Andrea Stanford’s involvement from December 2020 which made all the difference. Her diligent work and effective communication has enabled the case to be brought to a very satisfactory settlement and lifted a weight from my shoulders.”

Andrea works closely with her clients and responds to their unique needs, establishing good communication channels from the outset and providing clear and straightforward advice. Andrea also focuses on the commercial realities of claims and uses her experience of a range of negotiation tools, including mediation, to ensure each client’s objectives are met in a timely and cost effective manner.
