International maritime law firm Hill Dickinson has announced an alliance with Marshall Islands attorneys, Reeder Simpson & Magee (RSM).
It marks the latest move in Hill Dickinson’s international growth strategy and expands the firm’s offshore legal jurisdictions desk in Piraeus with an increased advisory and legal opinion offering for Marshall Islands and Liberian law.
As reported, the new alliance takes effect from Monday February 24, 2025.
As part of the new relationship, each firm will retain its own identity and client base with the ability to draw on the knowledge, specific legal expertise and resources of the other in their respective locations with increased collaboration and cross-referrals.
RSM will relaunch and rebrand in alliance with Hill Dickinson in Piraeus, with Reeder & Simpson P.C. having previously been based in Greece under the leadership of former partner Ray Simpson.
Hill Dickinson explained that the added specialisations of RSM partners Dennis Reeder and Damien Magee will further strengthen the overall offering to the maritime sector internationally.
In accordance with Hill Dickinson, Reeder is qualified in the Marshall Islands and specialises in corporate and maritime transactions, and in disputes, legal proceedings and litigation.
Furthermore, the law firm stated that Damien Magee is qualified in the Marshall Islands, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands and specialises in corporate and commercial law, banking, corporate restructuring, fraud recovery and insolvency – in each of those jurisdictions.
Hill Dickinson has offered a dedicated offshore legal jurisdictions team in Piraeus since 2021, the maritime law firm said, adding that the alliance with RSM “will increase and expand that team and offering to the Greek market.”
