Andrew Christopher Graham Hopper QC (1 October 1948 – 25 July 2018)[1] was a British solicitor who practised on his own account in a niche practice concerned with professional regulation and discipline, principally in relation to solicitors.
He lately had an exclusively defence practice, but also acted for the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal itself when it became involved as a party to litigation, principally in claims for judicial review.
[2] Hopper was joint general editor of Cordery on Legal Services, and was co-author of the Solicitor’s Handbook 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012.
According to Chambers and Partners Hopper is "the oracle of all things relating to solicitors’ disciplinary proceedings".
