Long-serving Hill Dickinson CEO, Peter Jackson, will step down at the end of next April and be succeeded by business services group head, Craig Scott
A marine and transport specialist, Jackson has been with the firm since 1983, where he was made managing partner in 2005 and became CEO in 2016.
Jackson will be staying with the firm in an advisory capacity and will become a member of the board.
Incoming CEO Scott said: “Some great people are being drawn to the firm, and major name clients are choosing to work with us, because we are continually investing in growing our standing as a large independent law firm, big enough on the national stage to be a respected quality outfit, but without losing our strong presence and connection to our people and local networks in each of our chosen locations and their related business communities.”
