Andrew Hooker
Partner
Andrew joined the firm as a Senior Associate in September 2007, after 17 years in practice as a litigation specialist, including three years as a partner of a boutique litigation firm. After graduating from Auckland University in 1990, Andrew joined a specialist civil litigation firm in Auckland City and has practised in the civil litigation area since then. Andrew was made a partner of Turner Hopkins in 2010.
Specialising in civil litigation, with extensive experience in insurance and financial services law, Andrew has developed a reputation as a passionate advocate for his clients. He has represented most major insurance companies and many brokers and advisers in all New Zealand Courts from the District Court to the Court of Appeal, and provided product and commercial advice across most sectors of the industry. Andrew is regarded as an expert in insurance and fraud throughout New Zealand and the Pacific and has been invited to speak at conferences and training events by industry bodies and regulators.
With significant experience and contacts in Pacific territories including Papua New Guinea, The Solomon Islands, Fiji, Samoa, American Samoa and The Cook Islands, Andrew is able to provide advice on most areas of the law in these territories.
“I joined Turner Hopkins because the culture and values of the firm matched my approach to the law. Lawyers need to provide sound, economic and commercially realistic advice and services to their clients. The legal processes can be confusing, complex and expensive, and our job is to ensure that our clients are represented with passion and commitment, and for a realistic cost.”
