Hill Dickinson has promoted four lawyers to partner in its latest round of summer appointments. Sarah Barnes, who joined the firm as a trainee solicitor in 2009, specialises in high-value personal injury and fatal accident claims within the marine and travel practice. ‘Sarah has shown remarkable talent and teamwork throughout her career with us,’ says CEO Craig Scott.
Janine Cheema, a property litigator in the City of London office, has swiftly risen through the ranks since joining in 2020, acting on complex landlord and tenant disputes. Shipping lawyer Sophie Pollard, based in Newcastle, advises on charterparty disputes and shipbuilding contracts, having joined the firm in 2024 to expand its marine and trade offering.
Rajveer Sehmi, who started at Hill Dickinson as a trainee solicitor in 2012, focuses on asset finance and corporate M&A within the corporate commercial team. ‘These promotions are well-deserved recognition of the value these lawyers bring to our firm,’ says Scott. The latest appointments reflect Hill Dickinson’s continued commitment to career development and client service excellence.
