Current Research
Andrew’s main research interests lie in the historical and modern legal regulation of adult relationships. This focuses on the formalised relationships of marriage and civil partnerships along with challenges generated by informal arrangements such as cohabitation and home-sharing. His research primarily concentrates on the family property issues raised by these areas, with particular reference to the extent to which private ordering is permissible.
Andrew is also currently completing a PhD on trusts of the family home and cohabitation under the supervision of Professor Lorna Fox-O'Mahony and Dr James Devenney.
