The son of the judge Sir John Anthony Hawke (1869–1941) and Winifred Edith Laura (née Stevens), he was educated at Charterhouse School and in 1914 went to Magdalen College, Oxford. He left Magdalen to serve during World War I and after did not return to Oxford, instead studying law. He was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1920 and joined the Western Circuit and the Devon sessions. He married the widow Evelyn Audrey Lee Davies (1905/6–1977) in 1931 and they had a daughter. His practice was mainly centred at the Central Criminal Court where he was junior prosecuting counsel in 1932, third senior prosecuting counsel in 1937, second senior prosecuting counsel in 1942, and senior prosecuting counsel from 1945 to 1950.

One of the last cases he tried as Recorder at the Old Bailey was that of Christine Keeler who was accused of perjury. In 1962 Hawke became Treasurer of his Inn. He had an enthusiastic interest in cricket and also enjoyed golf. He was the editor of the fifteenth edition of Roscoe's Criminal Evidence.
