Maritime law practice Hill Dickinson has appointed Master Mariner Kevin Austin as a legal director, Korean market specialist Beth Bradley as a partner, and transactional lawyer Sung Hwan Choi as a partner.

Master Mariner Kevin Austin, currently a legal director with Norton Rose, is especially well-known in the London Hull Market. He will join Hill Dickinson as a legal director in London, following a strategic rearrangement of the firm’s mariner team, which sees Joe Quain return from Singapore as a consultant in London as Ian MacLean heads out to join the team in Singapore.

Beth Bradley joins Hill Dickinson’s London offices from Clyde & Co as a partner. Well-known for her dedicated work on numerous high-profile disputes and litigations, Ms Bradley has a wealth of international maritime experience and a specific interest in the Korean market where she is extremely highly regarded.

Sung Hwan Choi (known as SD Choi) joins as a partner in Hill Dickinson’s Singapore office. Currently Of Counsel with Norton Rose, Mr Choi is a well-known and highly recognised transactional lawyer who is dual qualified in England & Wales, the US and the Marshall Islands.
