Turnover up at Garden Stirling Burnet
Garden Stirling Burnet has more than doubled its headcount and trebled its tally of fee-earners within the first two years of its new ownership. Turnover has also increased by a third in the past 12 months.
As it approaches the second anniversary of its merger with Friends Legal, the firm has doubled down on its commitment to investing in the region and its branches in Dunbar, Haddington, North Berwick and Tranent.
Tony O’Malley, managing director of Garden Stirling Burnet, said: “On day one of the merger we promised to bring an enhanced service and an exciting new chapter for a trusted brand.
“We’re well on our way to doing this and have attracted some top talent through the door to bolster an existing team that had a well-earned reputation in the region. The offices are bustling again which is helping to create a vibrant culture.”
In September 2022, Friends Legal acquired Garden Stirling Burnet, which dates back to 1999.
