Hill Dickinson has agreed a deal to transfer its £23m insurance business to Keoghs.

The deal, confirmed today (3 October), includes 16 partners and about 400 other fee earners and staff based in Liverpool, London and Manchester but excludes Hill Dickinson's marine insurance and clinical negligence business.

All will transfer to Keoghs by the end of January 2018, when Keoghs will gain a presence in Liverpool, where it will sub-let premises from Hill Dickinson as part of the transaction.
