  4. Cullen Kilshaw acquires Langholm's Stevenson & Johnstone

Cullen Kilshaw acquires Langholm's Stevenson & Johnstone

4th October 2022 | practice management , careers

Legal and estate agency firm Cullen Kilshaw, which already has offices in seven towns in the Scottish Borders, has established a presence in Dumfries & Galloway by merging with Langholm practice Stevenson & Johnstone.

Stevenson & Johnstone was established in the 1960s by Richard "Dick" Hill, father of its current principal Kenneth Hill, who is joining Cullen Kilshaw with his team. Effective from 1 October, the merger makes the Langholm office Cullen Kilshaw's 10th across the region, with a combined workforce of 82 people, including 13 solicitors and four trainee solicitors.

Mr Hill commented: "I am delighted that Stevenson & Johnstone will be joining the Cullen Kilshaw network. The team here in Langholm along with our colleagues across the Scottish Borders will continue to provide a full range of legal and estate agency services, and I have every confidence that the interest of our existing clients and future clients will be very well looked after."

He added: "Having access to this expanded network through Cullen Kilshaw’s cloud based case management platform and video consultations will only enhance the services which will be available locally and I am excited about the benefits that will bring to our clients and the local area."

David Kilshaw, founding partner of Cullen Kilshaw, said: "Stevenson & Johnstone’s legal offering and their commitment to serving and championing their local communities fits perfectly with Cullen Kilshaw. We will continue to look after the affairs of all clients as we forge new working relationships and grow Cullen Kilshaw’s client base in the towns of Langholm, Newcastleton and the surrounding area."
