International law firm Hill Dickinson LLP is celebrating 21 years of business in Piraeus.

To mark the occasion, the firm’s Greek office hosted a cocktail party for clients on 18 February 2015. Guests were welcomed by Piraeus office head, Patrick Hawkins and his team, alongside senior management from across the firm including, managing partner Peter Jackson, senior partner David Wareing and head of the firm’s marine, trade and energy group, Maria Pittordis.

Patrick, who has led the Piraeus office for all of its 21 years, was appointed Hill Dickinson’s first global head of shipping last year to manage and co-ordinate the firm’s renowned and expanding international shipping practice.

Patrick and his team work closely with the firm’s head office for shipping in London and the other international offices based in Monaco, Singapore and Hong Kong, to service the firm’s worldwide shipping client base, including ship owners, charterers, P&I clubs, port and terminal operators, insurers and reinsurers and shipping industry suppliers.
