Travel and leisure

Hill Dickinson's travel and leisure team provides a full service offering (including many niche and specialist sectors), with a genuine ‘one stop shop’ for all our clients’ legal requirements. We offer a high-quality combination of client service excellence, technical excellence, pragmatic advice and support. Our team of specialist lawyers are experts in their individual fields, many ranked as ‘Leaders in their field’ by the Chambers and Partners Legal Directory 2009. Our team also includes several people who have worked in an operational capacity and as in-house counsel for the largest UK tour operators.

Having acted on behalf of the owners of the Titanic and Lusitania disaster aftermaths, our team’s pedigree and history goes back a long way, as does our robust reputation and experience. Indeed, the firm celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2010.

As an international law firm with a strong marine and transport history, we have agents on all continents and wide ranging linguistic skills among our staff; facilities which are often called upon to assist clients liaising with service providers and insurers overseas. We act for clients from all our offices in Liverpool, Manchester, London, Chester, Piraeus and Singapore. 

Our services range from crisis response to litigation, employment, commercial agreements, terms and conditions, data protection, IP and IT, through to property and health and safety training to name but a few.

Fielding a significant travel team…with a particular reputation in the expedition, marine and aviation sectors, the team is "tremendously thorough, whilst also being friendly and approachable - you’d definitely want it on your side…"
