As Guernsey advocates, Andrew and Stevie now have the right of audience in the Royal Court and the Guernsey court of Court of Appeal.
After qualifying as a solicitor in South Australia, Andrew Tually joined Carey Olsen in 2007 and was admitted as a solicitor of England and Wales in 2009. Andrew has significant experience in the structuring, formation and regulation of Guernsey open and closed-ended collective investment schemes investing in private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure and hedge funds.

He practices in the dispute resolution and litigation team, specialising in commercial litigation, trusts disputes and insolvency matters.
