Andrew Tragardh

Andrew Tragardh is the Managing Partner and founder of Duxton Hill, known for his distinguished career as a litigator specialising in complex commercial disputes, particularly those involving dishonesty, fraud, and asset recovery. With an impressive trajectory that began at Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks (now Allens Linklaters), one of Australia's most prestigious law firms, Andrew quickly established himself in commercial litigation. His career includes significant experience in insolvency during his time at Madgwicks Lawyers, where he worked on high-profile cases such as the collapse of the Pyramid Building Society. A pivotal moment in his career was his secondment to London, where he worked with Network Security Management Ltd, gaining invaluable experience in international asset tracing and fraud-related litigation. In 1998, Andrew became the first lawyer to complete the Certified Fraud Investigators Course with the Victoria Police Major Fraud Squad and Latrobe University. His notable representation in the Metropolitan Ambulance Service Royal Commission further solidified his reputation in defending individuals against misconduct allegations. Transitioning to the Victorian Bar, Andrew practised for 14 years as a leading barrister in fraud, asset recovery, and white-collar crime defence. Known for his courtroom prowess across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, he handled high-stakes cases such as the $17 million employee fraud recovery for Dual Australia and represented clients in Royal Commissions, including the 2009 Victorian Bushfires and the 2017 Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry inquiries. Since returning to practice as a solicitor, Andrew has been consistently recognised among Australia's leading practitioners in white-collar crime and corporate misconduct. Listed in Best Lawyers annually since 2019 and achieving a Preeminent ranking in Doyle’s Guide for White Collar Crime in 2025, Andrew's objective at Duxton Hill is clear: to secure positive outcomes for clients engaged in fraud, misconduct, or financial crime cases. This dedication is supported by his extensive legal and investigative experience, making Duxton Hill a trusted name in the field.
