Hill Dickinson has acquired the majority of DLA Piper’s defendant insurance practice in Sheffield and Manchester
The deal sees the lateral hire of approximately 30 employees, including three new members, all of whom will move into Hill Dickinson’s existing premises in these two cities. The majority will be based in Sheffield.
The practice, which has a turnover of approximately £2m, has a strong capability and specialism in disease cases. As part of the deal the team’s entire client base, which includes high profile insurers and corporate clients will, subject to their agreement, transfer their defendant insurance matters across to Hill Dickinson.
