Andrea qualified as a solicitor in 1998 after graduating from the University of Manchester in 1992 (LLB 2:1 Hons). She obtained top marks in the Legal Practice Course exams at the University of Sheffield in 1996 and she was awarded both a Law Society Prize and Sydney Herbert Clay Prize. In 2000 she sat the National J.I.E.B Insolvency Exams (the exam required to qualify as a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner sat mainly by accountants), achieving the top mark in the country.  Andrea was awarded both the First Prize by the J.I.E.B Board and also the Insolvency Lawyers’ Association Prize.  In addition to her professional practice, since 2006 Andrea has been an annual guest postgraduate lecturer at the University of Sheffield where she teaches the Insolvency section of the advanced Commercial Litigation section of the Legal Practice Course.  She has also provided commercial law presentations and/or training to and/or on behalf of many organisations including Business Wales and the Development Bank of Wales.

In her spare time, Andrea is a keen bridge player, golfer and skier and she has represented Wales at International level in the Welsh Ladies Team.  Others would describe her as a much better lawyer than a bridge player, golfer or skier……
