MacArthur Stewart and MacPhee & Partners unveil merger

1st June 2022 | practice management

West coast legal firms MacArthur Stewart and MacPhee & Partners have announced their merger as from today, 1 June 2022.

The move will see Fort William based MacArthur Stewart transfer to larger counterpart MacPhee & Partners, which has offices in Fort William, Oban and Tiree. MacArthur Stewart partner David Dewar has retired; his partner Craig Murray becomes a partner in the merged firm.

Christine MacKay, managing partner at MacPhee & Partners, commented: "We are delighted that Craig and his team at MacArthur Stewart are joining our team. We are very pleased that MacArthur Stewart have chosen this firm as a trusted home from which to continue to serve their clients. We believe our firms to be a complementary fit, both in respect of our staff and aiming to provide excellent client care within our communities. We look forward to welcoming MacArthur Stewart and their clients to our offices."

Mr Murray added: "I have, along with my colleague David Dewar, had the privilege of serving our clients in Lochaber and beyond for over 25 years. Following David’s retiral on 31 May, I am excited to continue to do so with MacPhee & Partners, a firm which shares the same desire to provide a high quality and personal service to clients. With the merger of MacArthur Stewart and MacPhee & Partners, I look forward to being part a larger team who will be able to provide a wide range of services to clients, both existing and new. I would also wish to note my sincere thanks to David for his support and wisdom over our years working together, and wish him well on his retiral."
