Thorntons promotes three directors to partner

Three legal directors at legal firm Thorntons have been promoted to partner from 1 January 2023.

Anne Miller and Mike Kemp in the Dispute Resolution & Claims team in Dundee, and Graeme Dickson in the private client team in Edinburgh, have all been recognised.

Mr Dickson, who joined Thorntons as a senior solicitor in 2012, holds the Trust and Estate Practitioner qualification awarded by STEP, the global professional association for practitioners who specialise in family inheritance and succession planning.  

Ms Miller, who joined the firm in 2015, and Mr Kemp, both act principally in commercial litigation, Ms Miller having a particular focus on insolvency and restructuring, debt recovery, contentious intellectual property, commercial contract disputes, telecomms and alternative dispute resolution, and Mr Miller specialising in supporting clients in the education sector, contentious commercial property and mediation. 

Colin Graham, Thorntons' chair, commented: “Graeme, Mike and Anne are all fantastic examples of the learning and development opportunities we provide across the firm. Their progression to leadership roles is well deserved as they are great assets to the business and their respective teams. It’s an exciting time for them to contribute to our ongoing ambitious and progressive plans for Thorntons in 2023 and beyond.”
