Hill Dickinson—Amanda Burge & Lemi McAuley

Commercial law firm adds partner capacity with two new senior appointments 
Hill Dickinson has announced two lateral partner hires with the appointment of commercial litigation partner Amanda Burge and corporate restructuring and advisory partner Lemi McAuley. Their arrival brings the number of partner hires across the firm to 18 in the past 12 months. 


Amanda Burge joins Hill Dickinson’s London City office from Hamlins, where she was head of dispute resolution for over six years. She was a partner at Enyo Law prior to that. Amanda also headed the dispute resolution sub-group of an international network for several years. With 25 years of experience, she is recognised as a leading individual in commercial litigation and professional negligence and is recommended for contentious construction.  

Lemi McAuley joins Hill Dickinson’s Leeds office, adding breadth and depth to the firm’s national restructuring and insolvency capability by opening a new team base in the city. McAuley joins the firm from Shoosmiths, where he spent three years as a partner based in Leeds leading a team specialising in corporate restructuring work. 

Craig Scott, national head of the firm’s Business Services Group, said: “As we hit our stride in this new financial year, we are continuing to build senior level capacity in key practice teams across all our UK offices – and the market is taking note. It is particularly pleasing that lawyers like Amanda and Lemi, who have amassed significant experience in their respective fields are choosing to join us in this exciting phase of our ongoing growth journey.”
