ATTORNEY

Andrew is a bottom-up problem solver driven to deliver valuable insights and solutions to business clients in a variety of industries.  Prior to joining Allen Stahl + Kilbourne in 2025, Andrew amassed a diverse set of legal and business skills in a variety of roles: beginning with a clerkship on the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Andrew’s legal experience includes time with a global restructuring practice; litigation, creditor’s rights, and transactional advising with a premier North Carolina law firm; in-house with a mid-market equipment finance lender, and golf and private club industry specific practice with both a national and regional law firm. 

In these roles, Andrew contributed to matters ranging from billion-dollar financial restructurings in bankruptcy court, civil litigation in federal and state court, advising on various corporate transactions and lending deals, to a pro-bono representation of a church in a fraud claim arising from the discovery of a trashcan functioning as a septic tank.

Prior to attending Wake Forest University School of Law―and graduating magna cum laude in 2016―Andrew operated golf courses for industry-leading management companies for eight years.  This experience distinguishes Andrew as a one-of-a-kind asset to golf and private club industry stakeholders, as well as leaders from other industries seeking business-savvy counsel.
