James Hakaria

Associate

LLB, University of Waikato

James is an Associate in our Litigation team and has been practicing law for more than 10 years. He joined the firm in August 2015, having previously worked for a respected law firm in Hamilton. James works closely with our firm’s Partners and advises corporate and private clients on general civil litigation and construction matters.

James enjoys the challenge of solving problems, taking complex issues and making them simple, and achieving the best possible outcome for the client. This always starts with listening to clients and understanding their specific needs, and then focussing on the goal or solution rather than the problem. James’ calm and practical outlook is invaluable in formulating litigation strategy.
