After law school Andrew completed his articles under the tutelage of a highly skilled Toronto defense lawyer, working on trial, appellate, parole, and social justice tribunal matters.

At Osgoode, Andrew focused his studies on criminal law and learned from some of the brightest legal luminaries in the field.
