Andrew says

“Although getting the right advice about IP issues is of critical importance to many businesses it can be surprisingly difficult to find good advice at a reasonable price. Sonder & Clay meets that need. All our team are senior professionals with decades of experience who you won’t be paying to learn on your job. Nor will you fund a swanky city centre office, layers of management or training juniors. Seasoned advisors at sensible prices. It’s that simple.”

Outside of work Andrew is a keen cyclist, reader of popular science books, lover of film and cinema and husband and father to two amazing children.
