Hill Dickinson has cited government spending cuts affecting the NHS as the reason for making two fee-earners and five secretaries redundant in its health team.
The redundancies were made following a firmwide review, which concluded at the beginning of September. Four of the secretaries who lost their jobs were based in Liverpool, while the two fee-earners - a legal director and an assistant solicitor - and the remaining secretary were based in Manchester.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Hill Dickinson said: "We've had to adapt our business model to meet changing client requirements in light of government spending cuts. This has resulted in two fee-earner redundancies and five secretarial redundancies. We remain focused on ensuring that excellent service remains accessible to clients against a challenging economic backdrop."
"It's all about costs and price," confirmed the firm's managing partner Peter Jackson.
