A SCOTTISH law firm has started the year with the appointment of three new partners.
Dundee-headquartered Thorntons has promoted Anne Miller and Mike Kemp to partner in the dispute resolution and claims teams in Tayside, with Graeme Dickson stepping up to the same status at the firm’s private client team in Edinburgh.
The three new partners started in post on January 1. Mr Dickson joined Thorntons as senior solicitor in 2012, while Ms Miller and Mr Kemp arrived in 2016. Since joining, all three are credited with supporting the firm’s growth in their respective fields.
Ms Miller has a focus on insolvency and restructuring, debt recovery, contentious intellectual property, commercial contract disputes, telecoms, and alternative dispute resolution. Mr Kemp has broad experience of commercial litigation, supporting clients in the education sector, contentious commercial property and mediation. Mr Dickson holds the prestigious Trust and Estate Practitioner qualification awarded by STEP, the global professional association for practitioners who specialise in family inheritance and succession planning.
Ms Miller said: “I am delighted to be starting the new year as a partner at Thorntons, a firm which I joined in 2015 as a senior solicitor and where I have been supported in achieving the position of partner. I am looking forward to continuing to work alongside my clients and colleagues in 2023.”
Thorntons’ 13 offices include bases in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Montrose, St Andrews and Arbroath.
Chair Colin Graham said: “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.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
