Hill Dickinson has made up eight lawyers to its partnership, the national law firm announced today (16 April).

The new appointments, which are effective from 1 May, grow the total partnership at Hill Dickinson to 154. The promotions fall just short of last year’s tally of 10 new partners.

The Manchester office leads the way with four promotions, while Liverpool gains three new partners and Chester picks up one. The firm’s City branch misses out altogether this year.

By practice area, commercial was the main beneficiary with four new partners, while health services gains two and the employment and marine teams receive one new partner apiece.

Commenting on the news, Hill Dickinson senior partner Tony Wilson said: “It is always a delight to announce the promotion of new partners at Hill Dickinson 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.”

The news comes after national giant Eversheds last week made up 30 new partners, while Addleshaw Goddard and Pinsent Masons promoted nine and 17 new partners respectively.

Berwin Leighton Paisner yesterday became the latest City firm to unveil its 2008 promotions, making up five associates – all of whom are based in London.
