“Michelmores is lucky to have as its senior partner, and principal fee-earner in this field, Andrew Oldland KC. It is rare to have a recorder, and particularly a silk recorder, as a senior partner, and Andrew is also unusual in his widespread knowledge of regulation, and his ability to demonstrate his expertise in international circles.”
