History

Burnett & Reid was first established by William Burnett on 11 July 1754, when Burnett was fully admitted to membership of Society of Advocates.[6] William was eventually succeeded in the business by his sixth son, Thomas Burnett, who joined the business in 1796,[6] and who in turn was joined in the business in 1823 by his son, Newell Burnett.[6] 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".[6] In 2012 the firm converted to an LLP, adopting the name Burnett & Reid LLP.[7]
