Exclusive: Hill Dickinson puts 39 jobs on chopping block

RollOnFriday understands that Hill Dickinson is putting 39 staff at risk of redundancy.

The roles are all in the fraud team of the firm's insurance practice and both administrative staff and fee-earners will be affected. It's the worst kind of deja vu: the fraud team took the same pummelling last year when, as now, 39 staff were put at risk. Unsurprisingly after such repeated battery, a source in the firm says morale "is at an all time low".

HR returns for a second bite

But it is not just HD staff that are being hit. Though the law market is seeing green shoots of recovery in many areas, the world of commoditised law is suffering. Lawyers in the medical negligence team at Capsticks are set to lose their jobs, as exclusively revealed this week by RollOnFriday, and 80 are in the firing line at Plexus, which is outsourcing its high volume, low value work to South Africa.

Feel sorry for all my old colleagues - about time they got rid of the two partners who cause so much grief to so many hard working folks tring to supporttheir families.

When are the partners going to take responsibility for their poor leadership, low morale and inability to find new clients?

But don't worry, they have a plan for development.
Just like they said last time.

The management are running Hill Dickinson into the ground, by cutting jobs and Increasing everyone's workload. Morale is at an all time low and people are looking to get out. But partners and management continue to spend spend spend and ignore how un happy there staff are.

This after 26 support staff redundancies went unnoticed last month

But the same old management keep trundling-on regardless.

And the management continue travelling first class as well!

Oh dear, the ship has been sinking for about 5 years, unwillingness to listen, Eddie know all attitude, grossly over paid partners and few real leaders. Awful for staff and those clinging on, but hey, better to jump before you are pushed and hold your head up high. Shambolic failures throughout......performance management? huh. Joke. We could go on, and on......

Sinking Shi-T?

Ship

Old Mother Hubbard in London ought to have left by now - come on partners (the ones that are left) have the guts (your country and children need you).

Go go - the insurance market know how great you are like a sinking Shi-Tink.

Call your deciples "Associates" that will help.... Oh and declare a Head of Global Shi- Ting

And to rub salt into the wound, the two senior partners both acquired brand new luxury motors weeks before the redundancy announcement. They really care, honestly they do.

Let's not forget that the senior figure heads are on holiday while he staff are in a consultation process... No one wants to work at the firm and so all the staff you have, will eventually go. It's about high time that the senior figure heads give up and take their brand new cars to a race track and and with them. The management. No one wants to be at the firm. I'm surprised that they have not lost each and every client with the over charging, bull shit excuses that they make to clients.
