Hicksons is delighted to announce the promotion of two lawyers to the partnership from 1 July 2018.
With more of the younger generation joining the partnership it is an exciting time for Hicksons. Hicksons’ partnership has grown quickly through promotions and lateral recruits over the past few years.

I enjoy working with these individuals and observing their personal and professional development as they move Hicksons into the future.”
These appointments build on the firm’s growth and capability to provide integrated business and legal advisory services that deliver sustainable value for clients.
