Hill Dickinson is highly regarded for the professional negligence
work it handles from its Liverpool and Manchester offices. Peers
are particularly quick to commend its work defending construction
professionals. It continues to handle high-value instructions from
both offices, as evidenced by its role in Co-operative Group v John
