Herbert Peever – From Hill Dickinson To Goodison
In May 2025, law firm Hill Dickinson was announced as the official naming rights partner for Everton’s new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock. Since then, the stadium is officially known as Hill Dickinson Stadium. Hill Dickinson already had a link to Everton when in 2010, it acquired another law firm called Cuff Roberts, which was co-founded by Will Cuff, who was, among other things, the secretary of the Blues from 1901 to 1918 and then chairman from 1922 to 1938.
