Expertise

Hugh is the proud managing partner of White Fox & Jones.

With a wealth of experience in many areas of law, Hugh now specialises in a broad range of commercial and civil litigation.

A White Fox & Jones partner since 1985, Hugh has confidently led the resolution of a wide range of disputes by negotiation, mediation and litigation through the courts, including in areas such as contracts and commercial disputes, professional negligence and indemnity, property and land law, weathertight buildings and construction, property and business sales, earthquake and insurance issues, body corporates, estates & family protection, and employment matters.

Always an active member of the community, Hugh has been the Board Chairperson of local school, St. Andrews College, in addition to being a Board Member and Trustee of other organisations.

His three adult sons bring great work stories to the dinner table during the holiday period – a helicopter pilot, a builder, and a digital marketer. The whole family keen on outdoor activities, they’re out and about as much as possible.
