Associate Solicitor

Andrea heads up the Prison Law team at Albin & Co.

Andrea studied law and economics at the LSE before starting work with then leading London criminal law firm, Saunders & Co. She gained a thorough grounding and expertise in criminal matters from traditional to serious crime as well as a range of civil / public law and regulatory matters over a period of 17 years with the firm.

In 2011, she joined Lawtons Solicitors as Head of Prison Law as well as working in the Proceeds of Crime Department and moved to Albin and Co from Lawtons in March 2016.

In a career spanning over 30 years, Andrea has acted in some major cases including the successful appeal of all defendants in the “Torso” murders case, the successful defence of the one defendant in the Israeli Embassy and Balfour House bombings, the defence of the large scale Wickes Company prosecution and the acquittal of a Holyoaks tv star after a misconceived prosecution was brought by the CPS.

Andrea has represented many Lifer and IPP prisoners in parole and other forums. Her first parole hearing in 1997 lead to the release of Reg Dudley, who had been the subject of several documentaries including those made by Roger Cook and Rough Justice concerning his innocence. Andrea managed to get his convictions for two murders referred back to the Court of Appeal where they were both quashed. He had been in prison for over 20 years.

Andrea is instructed by a number of prisoners serving for terrorist crimes and offences classed as “of particular concern” and has acted in many complex parole applications for both male and female prisoners including young offenders and detained children.

She was recently successful at her first attempt at seeking licence termination for an IPP prisoner and represents a growing number of applicants seeking to come off licence.
