Partner, national law firm
"As a senior professional in a law firm we sometimes don't have the time to think of our own personal development, which would otherwise be for the betterment of ourselves and those around us. Andy has worked at the highest level in significant roles within large law firms and connects that experience with his excellent interpersonal manner to provide highly tailored, relevant and accessible guidance. His coaching has significantly helped, thanks Andy."
