Prior to founding Asher Law Associates, Andrew started his legal career as General Counsel to BGR Government Affairs in Washington, D.C.

He continues to work with BGR today as Of Counsel to the firm. Andrew also served as a Legislative Assistant to current Florida Supreme Court Justice, Charles T.

During his career, Andrew has represented clients before state and federal courts in New York seeking to have preferred shares redeemed in a business venture that was resolved after substantial litigation for a publicly disclosed amount between $25 million and $34 million. In 2006, along with counsel in New York, the District of Columbia, Canada and the United Kingdom, he represented the president of a multinational company in a landmark extradition case that was successfully resolved after six years of litigation and negotiation.

Additionally, Andrew's practice has included representation of a U.K. client wrongfully targeted by a foreign government seeking to seize property without compensation for political advantage. As part of a larger legal and political effort, Andrew helped to hold the government and its political leadership accountable for violating the laws their own country. He also served on the team that secured and enforced an arbitration judgment in London in connection with that effort.
