Andrew is a highly experienced and talented solicitor. Bringing with him experience from magic circle firms, Andrew’s personal and conscientious approach is suited to the needs of those facing criminal allegations. Conscious that each client has much at stake, Andrew has an enviable record of avoiding charges being brought against his clients by virtue of his pre-charge advice and skilful representation. Working exclusively with those who can privately fund their own representation, Andrew’s clients include professional sportspeople, medical professionals, and those of high net-worth. Andrew is considered a ‘rising star’ in both criminal and sports law. Andrew’s skill and forensic approach means many cases result in ‘no further action’ and avoid the adverse consequences of being charged. These cases, however, are often complex and require discretion, involving investigations and prosecutions brought by the Serious Fraud Office, National Crime Agency, Crown Prosecution Service and regulators (incorporating professional discipline).

Keir Rowsell

Andrew Ford's razor sharp analysis at the outset was excellent. I asked for and was assigned Keir, and I must say he is a real gentleman and scholar. He dealt with the matter in a sensitive and empathetic manner, treating the client with due dignity and humanity; a juxtaposition to how the police dispossess people of these things in their blinkered discrimination and prejudicial abuse of power. His grasp and understanding of the situation enabled a positive swift resolution. Keir's healthy disdain of injustice serves him well in his focussed attention to lack of due processes and I have confidence his stature will grow to become the bane of nefarious police practises. I wish him well; society needs people like him on their side when at the mercy of forces of wrong with seemingly no voice or platform of readdress.

Very glad Holborn Adams were on our case

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Holborn Adams at such a challenging time. From the outset, Andrew, Yasmin and Keir were exceptionally supportive and professional, setting the tone for what proved to be an outstanding team effort. Andrew, Paige, Keir, and Yasmin combined real professionalism with a genuinely approachable and reassuring manner — something we valued enormously during a very stressful period in our lives. All too often, legal firms hide behind complicated jargon. Holborn Adams did the opposite. They explained everything clearly, guided us through each step, and brought a much-needed sense of calm and confidence throughout. The team were meticulous in their work, consistently supportive, and always measured in their approach. Most importantly, they achieved the outcome we had hoped for our son. We would not hesitate to recommend their services or to work with them again. Our sincere thanks to the entire team.

I honestly don’t think I could ever fully put into words just how grateful I am to Holborn Adams Solicitors, and especially to Natasha, Andrew, Chris, and the entire team. What they did for me goes far beyond legal representation—it was support, reassurance, and genuine care at a time in my life when I felt at my lowest. From the outset, my case was incredibly challenging. There were moments where everything felt uncertain, overwhelming, and at times almost impossible to face. I remember feeling like the weight of it all was too much, and there were points where I genuinely questioned whether I would get through it. It wasn’t just a legal battle—it was emotional, mental, and deeply personal. What made Holborn Adams stand out immediately was their understanding of that. They didn’t treat me like just another case file. They recognised the human side of what I was going through. Their emphasis on mental health and emotional wellbeing was something I had never experienced before in a legal setting. They checked in, they listened, and they made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Natasha and Andrew were absolutely incredible throughout. Their calmness, patience, and clarity gave me a sense of stability when everything else felt uncertain. They explained things in a way that made sense, never rushed me, and always made me feel like I mattered. No question was too small, no concern was dismissed. They carried a level of professionalism and compassion that is very rare to find. Before finding Holborn Adams, I had initially instructed another firm who positioned themselves as a strong competitor. They spoke confidently about their supposed experience, even claiming to have been a former prosecutor and suggesting that this gave them an advantage in understanding both sides of the process. At the time, this sounded reassuring—but sadly, it turned out to be completely misleading. The reality did not match what had been promised, and it quickly became clear that I was not receiving the level of expertise or honesty I needed. That experience left me feeling even more anxious and uncertain about my situation. Everything changed when I came into contact with Holborn Adams. Chris, in particular, made a lasting impression on me. At a time when I needed reassurance the most, he took the time to come and see me personally. That moment meant more than I can explain—it wasn’t just about legal advice, it was about someone showing up, looking you in the eye, and reminding you that you’re not alone. That level of dedication and humanity is something I will never forget. Even now, I know that I can pick up the phone and speak to Chris whenever I need guidance or reassurance. That ongoing support speaks volumes about the kind of people they are and the values they hold as a firm. They don’t just “finish a case” and move on—they genuinely care about their clients long after. Throughout the entire process, the team at Holborn Adams gave me something I didn’t think I’d get back: confidence. Confidence to keep going, to trust the process, and to believe that things would be okay. They stood by me during the most difficult moments, and they celebrated the progress with me too. Looking back now, I can honestly say that choosing Holborn Adams was one of the best decisions I have ever made. They combined exceptional legal knowledge with empathy, honesty, and unwavering support. They treated me with dignity when I needed it most and helped me through something that once felt impossible. If you are going through something difficult and need a firm that will truly stand by you—not just legally, but personally—then I cannot recommend Holborn Adams Solicitors enough. They don’t just represent you… they support you, believe in you, and help you find your strength again
