Hill Dickinson LLP’s team provides ‘an
extremely high standard of service’. It advises NHS clients on a
variety of issues, and has also been active for clients in the
logistics sector.
Hill Dickinson LLP provides ‘prompt,
professional, accessible advice’ to a client base of over 100 NHS
and private sector groups, and is a member of the North West
Collaborative Hub. It acted in the Mid Staffordshire Hospital NHS
Foundation Trust public inquiry, and advised Morecambe Bay NHS
Trust on the Furness General Hospital investigation. Newly promoted
partner Philippa Hipwell is ‘excellent, dedicated, professional and
prepared to go the extra mile’, and Sharon Thomas is also
recommended.
Hill Dickinson has built an excellent client base around
several key sectors, and remains active in equal pay litigation,
tribunal claims, TUPE transfers and industrial relations issues.
The team is strongly acknowledged for its representation of health
trusts, where it defends against claims relating to whistle-blowing
and unfair dismissal. Members of the team are also active in the
retail, logistics, social housing and local authority sectors.
Clients include AstraZeneca, Iceland Foods and Wincanton.
Hill Dickinson manages a
broad healthcare practice, acting for a range of both public and
private sector clients across a wide array of legal services,
including litigation, commercial, property, employment and mental
health issues. The team's reach is national in scope, although it
is best recognised as the clear leader for North Western NHS
clients. The team was recently instructed by NHS West Midlands in
relation to the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public
Inquiry.
