Daniel Erickson, Wayne Hofer, and Karina McLuskie all appointed.
Law firm Tompkins Wake is pleased to announce the appointment of three new partners: Daniel Erickson, Wayne Hofer, and Karina McLuskie.
Erickson joins the Auckland office of Tompkins Wake from the firm he helped establish, Douglas Erickson. For Erickson, the switch to Tompkins Wake was the right career move at the right time.
He said: “In my own firm, I was having to deal with admin and the daily tasks of running a business. What I wanted was freedom to take my skills and practice to the next level. For that, I needed the broader expertise of a wider team. Tompkins Wake is a perfect fit. Everyone knows they’re a firm on the rise.”
Wayne Hofer’s ascension to partnership is the culmination of years of successful financial litigation at the highest level. From complex, high-profile cases in Auckland, Hofer’s talent for litigation earned him a place in the top-tier law firms in London before joining Tompkins Wake in 2020.
Karina McLuskie is the ultimate example of growing talent from within. Having joined Tompkins Wake straight from university, McLuskie’s talent has seen her steadily rise through the ranks. Attaining partnership is the culmination of 13 years of recognised excellence.
Tompkins Wake chief executive Jon Calder said: “Tompkins Wake turns 100 years old in 2022. The main reason we’re at that milestone is because we’ve had an enduring succession of exceptional people.
“Clients trust us because of that excellence, and Erickson, Hofer, and McLuskie are part of that succession.”
With three new partners on board, Tompkins Wake now has 28 partners across four offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, and Tauranga with many working across several offices.
