Hill Dickinson LLP has a large NHS client base
with over 80 clients in the North West region and elsewhere. The
team has also been appointed to all ten lots on the North West NHS
Collaborative Procurement Hub. Practice head Allan Mowat is
‘experienced, wise, sensible and pragmatic’.
This firm's practice has a national range, but it is
especially identified as a player in the North West and West
Midlands. It is one of only two firms to have been appointed to all
ten lots of the North West NHS Commercial Agency, which is
testament to both great breadth of expertise and deep capacity. The
team was recently sought out by NHS West Midlands to advise on the
Mid Staffordshire inquiry.
