Andrew is firmwide co-chair of Shook’s Government Investigations and White Collar Practice. He leads teams of attorneys in high-stakes trials, investigations, white collar matters, regulatory and securities enforcement disputes, and complex litigations. Andrew’s practice also extends to crisis management response, strategic counseling and compliance-related work. Andrew is a former federal prosecutor in the Financial Crimes and Special Prosecutions Section of the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office. As a federal prosecutor, Andrew handled hundreds of matters, briefed and argued appeals to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and tried or prepped dozens of cases for trial. Over the course of his public service career, Andrew first-chaired a number of high-profile cases of national and international significance, which the Chicago Sun-Times described in a profile of him as “some of the toughest, most sophisticated cases at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.”

As a defense attorney, Andrew draws on that government experience to represent companies large and small, public and private, as well as their boards, audit committees, officers, directors, and other individuals in their internal investigations and government enforcement matters. His client representations frequently require that he interface with the DOJ, USAO, FBI, SEC, IRS, and other federal and state agencies. Among his matters, Andrew previously served as legal counsel to the independent compliance monitor for a series of pharmacy entities, pursuant to a U.S. Department of Labor administrative agreement.
