Hill Dickinson has appointed Chris Williams as a partner in its commercial dispute resolutions team in the firm’s London City office. Williams joins from Clyde & Co, bringing almost a decade of partner-level experience and strengthening the firm’s technology and intellectual property disputes capability.
A commercial litigator, Williams focuses on technology-related disputes and intellectual property, including patents, copyright, trademarks and confidential information. He advises clients across sectors such as marine, natural resources and energy, acting for organisations ranging from multinationals to owner-managed businesses on complex litigation and arbitration across multiple jurisdictions.
Williams is also active in the fast-growing artificial intelligence space, with a particular emphasis on intellectual property issues and the evolving regulatory landscape. His appointment follows a strong year for Hill Dickinson’s London City office, which made seven senior hires in 2025 and contributed to the firm’s eighth consecutive year of growth.
Fiona Parry, head of business services at Hill Dickinson, said Williams brings ‘deep expertise in intellectual property, technology and international disputes’, while Williams said the firm’s ‘genuinely collaborative culture’ and international reach made it ‘a clear choice for the next stage’ of his career.
