Andrew Park

APP Law Solicitors is headed by Andrew Park, a commercial lawyer with over 30 years experience in practice.   He has extensive experience of company, commercial and dispute resolution work, but specialises in advising on UK agency, distribution, brand development and joint venture matters, especially in relation to the wine trade – see our dedicated website APP Wine Law.

Previously

Andrew joined Lake, New & Hurst, Stockport, as a trainee in 1976.  Qualified as a solicitor 1978.  Became Partner 1982, Managing Partner 1984.  Established solo practice 1994, re-branded as APP Law Solicitors in 2003.

Why APP Law?

Primary motivation for establishing APP Law: to have the control that operating as a small practice offers.  To ensure that all elements of a case are handled to the highest standards, and to offer a highly responsive, personal, one-to-one service to clients.

Specialist expertise

After first taking on a commercial agency case for a wine importer in 1995, Andrew was attracted by the complex and challenging nature of wine trade matters and saw an opportunity to provide a specialist legal service that was not available elsewhere.  But much of Andrew’s expertise in the following areas is of equal value to other producers or manufacturers:

• Commercial agency
• UK distribution
• Brand development
• UK Joint ventures
