Congratulations to our friends at Everton FC and Hill Dickinson on the introduction today of Hill Dickinson Stadium. A wonderful partnership that brings together two Liverpool institutions. Honoured to have helped shape this exciting partnership.
Landmark, long-term deal sees international law firm secure naming rights to Everton’s new waterfront stadium
New stadium will be known as Hill Dickinson Stadium with immediate effect
Agreement will become one of the largest football stadium naming rights deals in Europe
Transformational partnership unites two globally recognised Liverpool institutions
Everton Football Club is proud to announce Hill Dickinson as the official naming rights partner for the Club’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, in a long-term agreement that will see the iconic venue named Hill Dickinson Stadium.
This transformational partnership represents one of the largest stadium naming rights deals in Europe. It brings together two Liverpool institutions, united by a global outlook, a deep commitment to the city of Liverpool, and a shared history that dates back to the very founding of Everton in 1878.
Founded in 1810, Hill Dickinson is a commercial law firm spanning 11 offices across the UK, Europe and Asia. Hill Dickinson’s international growth has been underpinned by the hallmarks that also define Everton – with both organisations striving for excellence, supporting their local communities and delivering long-term positive impacts.
Set to officially open in August this year, the 52,888 capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium will be a new home for Evertonians and a year-round destination for major sport, music, entertainment, business, and cultural events. As the centrepiece of the wider regeneration of North Liverpool, Hill Dickinson Stadium will deliver thousands of jobs, attract significant inward investment, and serve as a catalyst for long-term social and economic growth in the city.
“Welcoming Hill Dickinson as our naming rights partner is a bold and strategic step forward. This partnership goes beyond branding — it’s a shared commitment to progress, excellence, and the regeneration of our city. Hill Dickinson Stadium will stand as a symbol of Everton’s ambitions, our values, and the global future we are building together."
Angus Kinnear
Chief Executive Officer of Everton
The naming rights agreement with Hill Dickinson will create a shared legacy that extends beyond matchdays. Hill Dickinson will work closely with Everton in the Community, helping to amplify the reach and impact of the Club’s award-winning charitable programmes and its own Hill Dickinson Foundation across Merseyside and beyond.
“To put our name to Everton’s new stadium is a once-in-a-generation opportunity We believe deeply in what this project stands for — a bold, transformational vision for Liverpool and its future."
Craig Scott
Chief Executive Officer of Hill Dickinson
"This partnership is about legacy, ambition, and the power of two globally recognised organisations coming together to make a difference. As Hill Dickinson continues to grow internationally, we remain proud of our Liverpool roots — and we are honoured to be part of one of the most exciting waterfront developments in Europe."
Further announcements will be made in due course, including partnership community programmes, commercial activations, and milestone moments leading up to the opening of Hill Dickinson Stadium.
ABOUT EVERTON FOOTBALL CLUB
One of the 12 Founder Members of the Football League, Everton has spent more seasons in England’s top division than any other club (121) and been crowned league champions on nine occasions.
Founded in 1878 as St Domingo, the Club has also lifted the FA (Football Association) Cup five times and, in 1985, added the European Cup Winners’ Cup to its prestigious haul.
Throughout its 146-year history, Everton has been known as a family-oriented club based on proud traditions, affectionately referred to as ‘The People’s Club’. Those traditions have also encouraged innovation, ensuring Everton has remained one of the great pioneering clubs in the history of the game. The first club to construct a purpose-built football stadium, its home, Goodison Park, is one of the most revered stadiums in England. From summer 2025, the Club will be looking to maintain those traditions in a new 52,888-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium, ensuring the Club’s roots remain in north Liverpool for generations to come.
As a pioneer, the Club is renowned for many firsts that we take for granted in today’s game. Everton was the first club to see its players wear shirts numbered 1 to 11 in a high profile fixture, the first club to go on an overseas tour, the first English club to install dugouts and undersoil heating, the first club to feature in a televised match, the first club to introduce a regular matchday programme, the first club to present its players with medals for winning the Football League championship and the first club to have a player, Dixie Dean, break the 60 goals barrier in a single league season.

Everton Football Club and Hill Dickinson’s shared heritage
Everton Football Club (EFC) was founded in 1878, formed by the Trustees of St Domingo’s church. One of the original Trustees at the time EFC was formed was Will Cuff, who went on to found Cuff Roberts, a Liverpool law firm. The Liverpool office of Cuff Roberts was eventually acquired by Hill Dickinson in 2010, with several former Cuff Roberts partners remaining at the firm today. Everton and Hill Dickinson have a shared history, and now a shared future.
