Hill Dickinson—Joanne Radcliff

Hill Dickinson has started 2024 by expanding its family law team into Manchester with the hire of family law partner Joanne Radcliff (pictured right).

Joanne’s addition to the team gives Hill Dickinson a family law presence in both its North West office locations, and will see her establish a new sub team presence in Manchester to meet growing client demand.

With more than 15 years’ experience in family law, Radcliff joins from Brabners, where she was made partner in 2018 and subsequently headed up its family team.

At Hill Dickinson, she will deal with complex divorce cases involving family trusts, businesses, foreign assets and other international dimensions. She will act for a variety of business owners, entrepreneurs and high net worth families, and will provide expertise for those seeking wealth protection via a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement.

Craig Scott (pictured centre), CEO elect and head of Business Services Group, said: ‘As a partner with a well-established reputation for her work in family law, Joanne’s appointment gives us much-needed additional capacity across the team, as well as very specific expertise in nuptial agreements. Her arrival also gives us the opportunity to extend our family law services directly into Manchester and build a new team presence there to meet growing client demand.’

Joanne Raisbeck (pictured left), partner and head of family law, said: ‘Having previously worked together at the same firm some years ago, I’m delighted to welcome her as a colleague to Hill Dickinson as we look to extend the firm’s growing family law practice into Manchester.’

Speaking about her new appointment, Joanne Radcliff said: ‘This is a very exciting time for me and for Hill Dickinson, and I’m delighted to be joining the firm at a time of such growth and opportunity.’
