Solicitor - Solicitor-Advocate
SRA ID: 356527
I’m a qualified Solicitor-Advocate with over 18 years’ commercial law experience from both private practice and in-house. During my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with several rapidly-growing, innovative businesses that have scaled internationally. I have worked in-house for the last 10 years with focus on business operations across North America, EMEA and APAC. I’ve operated as first or sole lawyer for an SME, setting up the legal function and internal processes from scratch and also for as part of larger teams of 80+ in-house lawyers for an international PLC. I enjoy the ability to partner with businesses to find commercially-focused resolutions to both transactional issues and disputes. To provide the best possible advice, lawyers need to understand how their client’s business operates. Working in-house provides an opportunity for lawyers to gain a greater understanding of the commercial and operational aspects both for the business and the wider sector.

Outstanding Service
Thank you Andrew and Legal Studio for quickly advising and getting me to completion on an international services contract. All of your communication was clear, non-jargonny and pragmatic. You kept to the fixed price that you had quoted meaning no unpleasant surprises at the end. I have already recommended you to others and you will be my go-to law firm going fowards.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew Vickerstaff and cannot express enough how satisfied we are with the exceptional service provided.
From the outset, Andrew's expertise was evident, and his dedication to ensuring that our company's legal foundation is solid, sets him apart from other solicitors that we have worked with in the past. He demonstrated a profound understanding of trademark intricacies, his insightful advice not only helps to protect our brand but also to position us strategically within the legal landscape.
Andrew crafted comprehensive contracts for our company, including global non-disclosure agreements and employment contracts. His ability to translate complex legal language into practical, accessible terms was invaluable. He took the time to understand our business model, allowing him to tailor each document to suit our specific requirements. The result was a suite of contracts that not only meets legal standards but also aligns seamlessly with our organisational goals.
Throughout the entire process, Andrew was prompt in responding to our inquiries, providing updates, and explaining legal nuances in a way that was easily digestible. This level of responsiveness and transparency made the legal journey a collaborative and positive experience.
We highly recommend Andrew Vickerstaff and Legal Studio to any business seeking top-tier legal counsel. Their expertise, professionalism, and client-centric approach makes them an invaluable asset for navigating the complexities of trademarks and contract law.

Andrew Vickerstaf 5* review
Andrew from Legal Studio helped me create an Associate agreement for use with my team of trainers and coaches. He was super easy to work with and always quick to respond. He kept me apprised of every detail of the process and was friendly and helpful. I was referred to him after working with another lawyer who wasn't able to assist me in a timely manner. I'm pleased I switched over and had a very positive experience.
