A Moment with Andrea Tithecott, Senior Associate Abu Dhabi

Analysis

Andrea Tithecott joined Al Tamimi's Abu Dhabi office in June 2013 with the aim of building the Firm's Regulatory practice. As the UAE enters a new phase of growth and development, Andrea brings with her a wealth of experience and expertise in tackling the increasing regulatory issues it will face.

Welsh-born Andrea grew up with childhood ambitions of becoming a doctor.  She studied sciences at school and had intended to embark upon a career in medicine, when a 6 month work experience placement at the age of 18 caused her to have a complete change of heart.  “I did work experience for a judge and absolutely loved it,” recalls Andrea.  “The work was really interesting, and from then on, I wanted to become a lawyer.”
