Hill International Divests of Knowles' Solicitors Businesses in the United Kingdom and Middle East.

MARLTON, N.J. & LONDON -- Hill International (Nasdaq:HINT), the worldwide construction consulting firm, has announced that the operations of Construction Lawyers Ltd. (CLL), its associated solicitors practice, have been acquired by the UK-based law firm of DWF Solicitors Ltd. The deal will see Knowles' partners Neil Hunter and Julian Ives move to DWF's Liverpool office. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Hill acquired CLL when it acquired James R. Knowles (Holdings) Ltd. on September 1, 2006. The transaction will not affect the ongoing operations of Knowles and Hill in the UK or elsewhere. The company also announced that Knowles' Dubai-based law practice has been closed down.

"We are pleased that we were able to effect a transaction with such a high-quality firm as DWF," said Renny Borhan, Senior Vice President and Managing Director in charge of Hill's construction claims operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "Over the past 30 years, Hill has worked with and supported almost every major construction law practice in the world. Our disassociation from Knowles' solicitors practices is a testament to our longstanding commitment to our law firm clients. It is also a key step in the integration of Hill and Knowles into what is now the premiere construction claims consultancy in the world, and the largest by a wide margin," Borhan added.

"This is a real coup for DWF, as Neil Hunter and Julian Ives are highly respected in the construction industry, with a wealth of experience in their field," said Paul D. Gill, head of DWF's construction practice. "Their arrival will add further strength and depth to our construction team whilst at the same time demonstrating to the client base of CLL that, as part of the much larger DWF team with our strong commitment to our construction practice, they will be able to continue to provide a first-class service to their client base," Gill added.

DWF Solicitors is one of the fastest growing law firms in the UK, with over 350 legal advisers (including 69 partners) and 600 people based in Manchester and Liverpool. DWF provides a range of services grouped under the following practice areas: Corporate, Banking & Finance, Litigation, Real Estate, People, and Insurance.
