Founded in 1990, Multilaw is a network of law firms across more than 100 countries. Membership is selective, each member firm is chosen for its professional standing, depth of expertise and commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality service to international clients. This means that when Thorntons refers a client matter overseas, or receives an inbound referral from abroad, both parties can rely on the same standard of legal professionalism and client service.

Lesley Larg, managing partner, Thorntons, said: “Joining Multilaw is a statement of intent. Thorntons has always been a firm that punches above its weight. We have the expertise, the breadth of practice and the national footprint to go head-to-head with the largest firms operating in Scotland. 

“Multilaw membership gives us the international infrastructure to match that ambition. Our clients increasingly operate across borders, and they deserve a firm that can move with them. This is the right network, at the right time, for Thorntons and for Scotland.”

Adam Cooke, CEO, Multilaw, said: “Thorntons is exactly the kind of firm Multilaw is built around. A highly respected, full service Scottish firm with real depth across key practice areas and a clear ambition to operate on an international stage.

“Their appointment gives us the coverage we need in Scotland and further strengthens the support we can provide to clients with cross border needs. We are delighted to welcome Thorntons to the network and look forward to a long, dynamic, and successful relationship.”
