Welcoming Logan to the firm, Gordons partner Victoria Davey said: “Andrew brings an unsurpassed level of regulatory knowledge and experience to the firm. As importantly, he is someone who quickly identifies and understands the issues and opportunities, and how to best protect a client’s interests.”
