HILL Dickinson has announced eight partner promotions as part of its ongoing growth and expansion strategy, three of whom are based in Liverpool and one in Chester.
The promotions, which take effect from May 1 will increase partner numbers at Hill Dickinson Liverpool to 78 and firm-wide to 154.
Those promoted to partner are: Kathy Holuba (Company Commercial - Liverpool), Roger Pointon (Company Commercial - Liverpool), Joanna Trewin (Health Services – Liverpool), Andrew Gibson (Employment & Pensions - Chester), Helen Rooney (Company Commercial - Manchester), Patrick Keown (Company Commercial - Manchester), Joanne Seery (Health Services - Manchester), and Bobby Nolan (Marine - Manchester).
The four partner promotions in the company commercial practice, two of which are from the Liverpool office, build on Hill Dickinson’s continued focus and unprecedented growth in this area proven by the recent appointment of Darryl Cooke, one of the UK’s leading private equity and corporate lawyers who was recruited last year from DLA Piper to head the corporate team..
The Liverpool health practice has been boosted by the partner promotion of Joanna Trewin, demonstrating the firm’s sustained strength in this sector.
Tony Wilson, Senior Partner, Hill Dickinson, said: “It is always a delight to announce the promotion of new partners, and this year’s promotions from across the firm and in a range of specialist areas are no exception. Partner promotions are a clear indication of the firm’s commitment to developing our people to drive and facilitate business growth and excellence in service.�
Managing partner Peter Jackson said: “The promotions are well-deserved recognition of the hard work and dedication shown by the new partners. We are proud of the commitment shown by our lawyers as we remain committed to recognising achievement and developing specialist talent.�
