Sources say: "Excellent and efficient."

Legal 500

Hill Dickinson LLP’s "excellent" and "pragmatic" practice is making "real headway" in the North West, thanks to a series of bank panel appointments, including Lloyds TSB’s large corporate (general) and corporate finance panel and HSBC’s commercial panel… it is "competitive" on fees and is more "commercially orientated" than other practices of a similar size. It features the "pragmatic" and "proactive" Patrick Keown and new arrival Elaine Charrôt.
