Two highly rated energy partners have left Eversheds Sutherland to join Hill Dickinson’s commodities team, in what the firm describes as a “strategic acquisition”.

Mark Aspinall and Paul Sinnott were both founding partners of boutique commodities law firm Arbis, which they set up in 2009. Five years later, the firm combined with Sutherland Asbill & Brennan to form Arbis Sutherland, where the two became co-partners in charge of the London office.
