About Andrew Y.
Andrew Y. Luh earned his undergraduate degree in economics from the University of Virginia in 1993 and completed his J.D. at Stanford Law School in 1996. Those years shaped a methodical approach to problems. Economics taught him to look for incentives and trade-offs. Law school sharpened a different set of tools: close reading, argument, and the discipline of written work.
After law school he built a practice in California. He moved into private practice and stayed in the state where he is licensed. Over time he took on more responsibility inside law firms and became known among colleagues for steady, pragmatic work.
He is a partner at Fenwick & West LLP. As a partner, he handles client matters that require sustained attention and coordination. He manages teams on longer projects and works directly with clients to identify priorities and next steps. His role involves both client counseling and managing the work that supports that advice.
Luh maintains an active membership in the State Bar of California and practices under that jurisdiction. He keeps current on state rules and developments that affect his clients. He also participates in the internal governance and mentoring functions typical of a partnership, helping newer attorneys learn firm procedures and professional responsibilities.
Colleagues describe his approach as pragmatic and detail-oriented. He draws on an economics background when assessing commercial disputes and when advising on negotiations. That combination of analytical habit and legal training shapes how he frames issues and sets priorities. He prefers clear explanations over technical jargon and aims to give clients concrete options rather than open-ended lists.
Throughout his career he has balanced client work with the administrative duties that come with being a partner. He handles matters for a range of clients in California and works across matters that require coordination among teams and outside advisers. He currently practices at Fenwick & West LLP, focusing on legal matters for clients in California.
