Andrew is a Partner and our Head of Banking and Finance.
An experienced corporate lawyer, he advises lenders, corporate borrowers and institutional investors on various aspects of banking and finance work.
This includes structured and acquisition finance transactions, real estate finance transactions (both investment and development), bridging (short term) finance transactions and general corporate banking (including refinancings and reorganisations).
Andrew has specialist expertise in advising registered housing providers in the social housing sector on their borrowing requirements. He also has a strong track record in private equity transactions and has worked with many investors to ensure that they take a strategic approach to investing in companies during various stages of development.
On the lending side, Andrew’s clients include high street clearing banks, alternative and secondary lenders, debt funds and bridging finance providers. On the borrowing side, he advises corporates, registered housing providers and individuals.
Known for remaining calm under pressure and his keen eye for the finer details, Andrew is an outstanding project manager with the ability to explain issues in a clear and concise manner. He takes a highly collaborative approach with clients, ensuring that he stays focused on achieving their objectives through regular calls and email updates.
Andrew is in The Legal 500’s Hall of Fame, which recognises “law firm partners who are at the pinnacle of the profession” and “have received constant praise from their clients for continued excellence”.
Andrew was interested in a career in law throughout his teenage years and qualified in 1996, the same year he joined Brabners. He has been part of our growth journey ever since and is based in our Liverpool office.
Few people might guess that Andrew has an obsession with Air Jordans. He played a lot of basketball growing up and has since amassed an impressive 35-pair collection — most of which (he assures us) are originals.
Andrew’s clients include NatWest Bank, Hope Capital Limited, Phoenix Money Ltd and Torus62 Limited.
“I have worked with Andrew O’Mahony and Daniel Hayhurst over several years and regard them both as trusted advisers. The last matter they assisted me with was complex and required a rapid resolution. We sent across a raft of information and having conducted an initial review, between us we were quickly able to highlight the key commercial issues in a face to face meeting. I was a very satisfied client.”

“Having worked with Andrew O’Mahony and Lauren Swanick from Brabners for a significant number of years now, I can’t sing their praises enough. No matter what the situation, they're always efficient and on-hand to help. With their can-do attitude and extensive knowledge, they always provide comprehensive advice very quickly. It’s a pleasure working with them.”
