Lawyer and former master mariner Tony Goldsmith has been appointed as the head of marine at law firm Hill Dickinson.

Goldsmith, who is currently a partner in the firm based in Singapore, will take over from David Wareing who is retiring in the autumn.

The move is yet another change at the top of the law firm’s marine practice. Wareing took over from Julian Clark, who suddenly vacated the position in 2019 to become a senior partner at close rival Ince & Co.
