International law firm and maritime specialist Hill Dickinson is delighted to announce the appointment of partner Jasel Chauhan to its board.

In addition to heading the Piraeus office since 2020, Jasel also heads the international finance team at the firm. He has more than 16 years’ experience in banking and finance legal services, 14 years of which have been focused in the marine sector.

Jasel’s appointment represents the first international partner to join the board and he brings a fresh perspective as the firm looks to deepen ties with its current international platform and global client base.

Jonathan Brown, Hill Dickinson chair, commented: “Jasel’s appointment recognises the immense contribution he brings to Hill Dickinson. He took over the helm in Piraeus in very difficult circumstances and despite those challenges has steadily grown our presence in Greece to double in size over the past three years.”

He added: “Jasel’s appointment reflects the wealth of talent developing at the firm and the importance of our younger partners taking on roles within senior management as the legal sector modernises for a new generation of clients and colleagues.”

Jasel said: “I’m delighted to join the board at this exciting time, when all law firms are looking to adapt to new challenges and demands, and I’m very much looking forward to contributing to Hill Dickinson’s future growth and development.”

Hill Dickinson employs more than 950 people, including over 200 partners and legal directors, across offices in Liverpool, Manchester, London, Leeds, Newcastle, Monaco, Piraeus, Singapore and Hong Kong.
