Our merger with legal practice Miller Hendry further expands our team in Dundee and adds new offices in Perth and Crieff
May 2023 saw Lindsays joining forces with Dundee and Perth-based law firm Miller Hendry which is our biggest merger to date. We’re delighted to welcome the firm’s seven partners and approximately 50 staff to Lindsays and look forward to supporting their clients across the Tayside region.
Our enlarged firm, which is branded as Lindsays, now comprises 46 partners and almost 300 people, has offices in four of Scotland’s cities – Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Perth – as well as Crieff.
Planned expansion
The deal with Miller Hendry is the latest chapter in Lindsays’ strategic expansion, which is designed to strengthen our offer for individuals, families and businesses across Scotland. This has included similar mergers with Shield & Kyd (2012), MacLachlan & MacKenzie (2012), RSB Macdonald (2015), Aitken Nairn (2018) and Hadden Rankin (2019).
We will continue to look for opportunities to grow further – including in the Perth area.
The perfect fit
Announcing the merger, Alasdair Cummings, Lindsays Managing Partner, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome the team from Miller Hendry to the Lindsays family and to continue our growth through this merger. We are delighted to be now working across four cities.
“There are real synergies between Lindsays and Miller Hendry, which we see bringing significant benefit to clients and our people. Throughout our long history at Lindsays, we have adapted and evolved while remaining true to our core ethos – to provide expert, accessible and reliable lawyers supporting people with their personal, family and business affairs. The ethos at Miller Hendry chimes perfectly with that.”
John Thom, Chairman of Miller Hendry, added: “We are very pleased to be joining Lindsays. The firm has a well earned strong reputation, which was important to us in reaching this agreement. It is the perfect fit for our clients, who will benefit from a wider range of legal services.
“Our staff will also be able to take advantage of broader career options, while remaining part of a firm which retains a family feel among its team.”
