Paul Hunter Partner

Paul is a senior partner in our litigation team.  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.  Paul has over 25 years experience in civil litigation and dispute resolution.  

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