Long before the melodies of Mozart filled the air, Burnett & Reid was established as a trusted pillar in legal advisory services for the people of Aberdeen.

Established in July of 1754 by William Burnett, conducting business in coffee houses and at the courts during its early years, the firm officially opened its first office in Aberdeen in 1815, coinciding with the momentous Battle of Waterloo.

With over two centuries of experience, Burnett & Reid has solidified its presence as a beacon of legal support and guidance in the North-east of Scotland.

Serving a clientele that includes many prominent businesses, organisations, individuals, and families, the firm has upheld a strong tradition of excellence and commitment since its inception.

Throughout its rich history, Burnett & Reid has continually evolved its services to meet the changing needs of its clients. Today, the firm boasts experienced teams capable of providing expert assistance across property, business, and personal legal matters.

The 270th anniversary marks a significant milestone for Burnett & Reid, with the expansion of their reach and services through the recent merger with Gavin Bain & Company and Taggart Meil Mathers.

In addition, the Aberdeen team has moved into a larger location at 1 Albyn Place to better accommodate the needs of their clients.

This milestone marks a new chapter in their legacy, combining the expertise and strengths of three reputable firms to better serve the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire communities.

As Burnett & Reid commemorates its 270th birthday this month, the firm looks forward to honouring its enduring legacy of service, innovation, and unwavering dedication to its clients.
