Our clients
“We recently found ourselves in a long running, intractable dispute with one of our contractors, which was, unfortunately, leading to a legal resolution. We engaged Hill Dickinson on our behalf and were truly impressed by their ‘down to earth’ practical guidance and expert advice which went a very long way to persuading our contractor that our interpretation of the contract was right and they were wrong which led to the dispute being settled to our advantage without recourse to legal proceedings.” Declan Hickey, Head of Asset Management, Muir Group Housing Association
Graham Archibald at Hill Dickinson LLP is well
regarded.
