Paul Hunter Partner

Paul specialises in general, civil and commercial litigation. For many of our clients, he’s our ‘go-to guy’ for dispute resolution, both in and out of court, mediation and arbitration.

Paul joined Simpson Western in 2004 and became a partner in 2008. His areas of expertise include construction disputes as well as contractual and property disputes.

Before joining Simpson Western, Paul worked for a leading provincial law firm for nine years – although he’s now a firm believer in the advantages of working (and living) on the Shore!

“I love the Takapuna lifestyle with such a wide range of parks and beaches close by. I have lived and worked in Takapuna ever since I moved to Auckland and I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else.”
