The recent acquisition builds upon RCCW’s growth strategy in the region, doubling the size of its legal business in Stonehaven and adding its extensive range of services to those Connons have been providing in the fields of residential and commercial property, and wills, trusts, and executory work.

Naomi Mearns, Partner and Stonehaven Branch Principal at RCCW, will be working closely with Scott Rennie, Associate Solicitor at Connons, to spearhead the project and enable a smooth transition. Scott will continue to support clients in his new role as part of the RCCW team.

Managing Partner, Keith Allan said: “We are one of the oldest established firms serving Aberdeen and the North-east area. Our commitment to growth in the local area is evident by the recent acquisitions of Winchesters in Ellon and now Connons in Stonehaven, which link with our overarching strategy.”

Member of the Royal Victorian Order Gordon Ritchie, Principal at Connons who will be retiring as a Solicitor, added: “I am delighted about the transfer of my business as I have great faith in my colleagues at RCCW. We have the same local focus and strong values and I know that our long established clients will be provided with the same high quality services they have come to expect from us.”
