Hill Dickinson specialises in advising companies, partnerships, individuals and other corporate entities on the legal issues that affect the day-to-day operation of their businesses. Our advice in this area covers:
- Company formation and constitution
- Corporate governance and compliance
- Assistance with the production of the annual report and accounts
- Director and shareholder meetings
- Reorganisations and demergers
- Share buybacks and reductions of capital
- Share issues, transfers and distributions
As part of this process we provide support to our clients’ in-house legal teams. Members of our team also often lecture on topical issues such as corporate governance and compliance and the recent changes to company law embodied in the Companies Act 2006.
By working with our strong tax, employment and, where necessary, commercial litigation teams, we are able to provide a full service package of corporate support.
‘Excellent in all respects’, Hill Dickinson LLP has had the

practice of Halliwells in July 2010. Craig Scott has the ‘ability
to communicate in non-legal language’, and has particular expertise
in private equity matters. Other recommended partners include Sue
Russell and Jonathan Brown, the ‘responsive, pragmatic and
flexible’ Jane O’Sullivan; and new arrival from Squire Sanders
Hammonds Ian Gillis. Recent highlights include advising Klarius
Group on its acquisition from Affinia Holdings of the Quinton
Hazell Automotive Group.
