Thorntons secures MacRoberts' Dundee team

MacRoberts' Dundee office team has moved across to Dundee-headquartered Thorntons, which has secured the lateral hires of the nine strong unit.

David Milne and Kyle Moir join Thorntons as partners in the Commercial Real Estate team, supported by paralegal Kirsty Smith and legal secretary Lesley Wilkinson.

In Residential Conveyancing, Derek Petrie arrives as partner and Gemma Scrimgeour as senior solicitor, along with trainee paralegal Jodi Blakeman.

Private Client legal director Chris Gardiner returns to Thorntons after two years, while Daisy Walker joins that team as a business admin apprentice.

Lesley Larg, managing partner at Thorntons, said: “Our team in Dundee is long established and extremely well respected, but we are always looking for opportunities to grow as part of our long term strategic plan to be a progressive and prosperous business. This investment will continue to strengthen our specialist offering to clients and we look forward to welcoming the team on board. Chris was a valuable member of our team for six years and we are delighted to have him back on board to bolster our Wills, Trusts & Tax planning team in Dundee.”
