Andrew L. Asher

Andrew has developed a reputation as a determined and successful business litigator through years of representing clients in complex matters involving unconventional parties, venues and circumstances.

Prior to founding Asher Law Associates, Andrew started his legal career as General Counsel to BGR Government Affairs in Washington, D.C.  Established as Barbour Griffith and Rogers in 1991 by former Mississippi Governor, Haley Barbour and his partners Ed Rogers and Lanny Griffith, BGR is one of the City’s most prestigious public policy firms.  Andrew also served as a Legislative Assistant to current Florida Supreme Court Justice, Charles T. Canady, during his tenure as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives; as well as a staff member to former U.S. Senator Connie Mack, III.

Andrew’s practice today emphasizes the design, launch, and legal stewardship of tax-exempt organizations — including private foundations, public charities, social welfare organizations, and politically engaged nonprofit coalitions. Alongside this work, he has represented and defended candidates and political committees before the Federal Election Commission and continues to advise clients navigating the complex terrain of campaign finance and election law.

Earlier in his career, Andrew was part of a legal team representing clients in high-stakes litigation before state and federal courts in New York, including a business dispute involving the redemption of preferred shares that settled for a publicly disclosed amount between $25 million and $34 million. He also joined a cross-border defense team in a landmark extradition case involving the president of a multinational corporation — successfully resolved after six years of litigation and negotiation across New York, Washington, D.C., Canada, and the United Kingdom.

A native Floridian, Andrew serves as Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Trinity Preparatory School in Winter Park.
