History
Burnett & Reid was first established by William Burnett on 11 July 1754, when he was fully admitted to membership of Society of Advocates.[4] William was eventually succeeded in the business by his sixth son, Thomas Burnett, who joined the business in 1796,[4] and in turn was joined in 1823 by his son, Newell Burnett.[4] Following the death of his father, Newell Burnett assumed John Reid as a partner at which point the firm first began trading under the name of "Burnett & Reid".[4]
In 2012 the firm converted to an LLP, becoming Burnett & Reid LLP and on 1 May 2024, the firm announced it was merging with two other Aberdeen-based legal firms,[5] to become one of the largest full service legal practices headquartered in Aberdeen.[6]
