Hill Dickinson LLP
The new offices of commercial law firm Hill Dickinson LLP are situated in the heart of Liverpool’s St. Paul’s business district, opposite the passport office and the Liverpool Echo building and rubbing shoulders with the city’s thriving firms of accountants, banks and financial services companies.
