What the team is known for

Wynn Williams Lawyers has an experienced team of litigators operating from Auckland and Christchurch. The team is noted for its work in resolving earthquake and natural disaster claims and its substantial expertise advising estate agents and financial advisers on professional indemnity matters. The firm also offers extensive experience in fraud, health and life and travel claims.

Strengths

"They are extremely proactive, they respond to my queries extremely quickly and thoroughly."

Work highlights

Wynn Williams provided complex indemnity advice to AIG on multiple statutory liability claims over multiple policy periods for various environmental breaches which were belatedly notified. 

Notable practitioners

Richard Hern brings to his work not only a noted track record in the successful handling of both court and mediation proceedings but also valuable past experience as in-house counsel at a prominent insurance firm. He is based in Auckland, where he co-leads Wynn Williams' insurance practice. "We highly value Richard's legal guidance. He has knowledge about niggly issues that you won't find elsewhere." "He is very pragmatic in trying to reach a settlement."
