International Arbitration - UK
Individual Editorial
William Hooker's practice covers a wide spectrum of sectors, including oil and gas and telecommunications. He is held in high regard for his ability to handle proceedings under ICC, DIFC and LCIA rules.
Strengths
“He is a tough opponent but is good to deal with. There is no false aggression with him, just intellect. He is pragmatic too.”
“He hides his considerable intellect but utilises it when needed in pleadings and other court submissions. The standard of both his written and oral advocacy is very high.”
“He is a brilliant lawyer, tactician and advocate. He is excellent at analysing strategic options and in presenting them in a concise and coherent manner to clients and co-counsel. He is collegial and clearly an effective manager of his team. His oral advocacy skills are very high.”
“He is very low-key, very simple and unassuming in his advocacy, but it blows people out of the water.”
