Our History

We were founded in 1992, following the merger of two long established Edinburgh firms, J & F Anderson and Strathern & Blair. 

Both firms were very well regarded, having been in practice for over 200 years, but faced new times and changing client needs. In the early nineties, clients were looking to have all their legal needs met by one firm (in other words 'full service') and the coming together of these long established firms meant that jointly they could expand and develop their legal offering.

With increased resources and a wider range of disciplines to offer, we were able to strengthen existing relationships and forge new and lasting ones, many of which still remain today. We are now much better placed to meet the needs of all our clients.

We continue to focus on that tradition of providing excellent client service and we are constantly developing our services, expanding our abilities and adapting to all of our clients needs.
