Hill Dickinson Partner attains highest karate rank

Corporate partner at Hill Dickinson’s Manchester office, Ian Gillis has become one of the youngest people in the World Kase Ha Shotokan Karate Academy to attain a fifth dan black belt following a three-day international karate training camp in Germany.

“The real challenge has been keeping the focus and discipline to train during a particularly busy time for the Hill Dickinson corporate team. I have been training in Shotokan karate for 30 years and am delighted with the outcome of the grading” Ian commented.

Hill Dickinson were appointed as official legal services supplier to GB Taekwondo last year with Ian leading a team that will provide a wide range of legal support to GB Taekwondo and individual athletes on the run up to the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.

The partnership between Hill Dickinson and GB Taekwondo will see both organisations working closely on martial art grassroots CSR campaigns to benefit schools and local communities across the Northwest.
