At Drummond Miller, we're not just your typical law firm. Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh with branches stretching to Bathgate, Dalkeith, Glasgow, and Musselburgh, we believe in blending local warmth with broad expertise. We're all about giving our clients the best of both worlds: local advice with specialist insights from our wider teams.


We have a rich history of working closely with individuals and their families. Our areas of expertise span niche fields such as clinical negligence and immigration law, as well as the foundational areas of family law, property, private client, and litigation.

Our Clinical Negligence team is highly rated on the pursuer side, with more accredited experts than any other Scottish practice. And our Immigration team are by far the most experienced group of immigration practitioners in the UK.

But beyond all these, we genuinely care. We're committed to understanding your needs, making the legal process transparent, and ensuring you trust our journey together. After all, our mantra is, "We're here to get you there." And we truly believe in it.

Our History

Drummond & Co and Pairman Miller Murray were able to trace their origins back to the late eighteenth century and the nineteenth century respectively. Both firms were involved in cases that are still regarded as landmarks in Scottish legal history.

In April 2000, the firms of MacPhail & Co and L & L Lawrence merged with Drummond Miller to establish our Glasgow office. In 2020, we took over the long established Musselburgh practice of Alex Mitchell & Sons, which can trace its history back for 130 years.  Then, in June 2022, Drummond Miller LLP merged with the long-established Glasgow firm of Peacock Johnston
