Beaumont legal, a Edinburgh based legal recruitment firm, has merged with Scottish recruitment firm Denholm Associates, to establish a new "legal and business support division" which will be led by Michelle Beaumont, who becomes a Managing Consultant with Denholm.

“The merge with Beaumont Legal will add a new dimension to the Denholm offering in a field we’ve never acted in before, but with Michelle’s expertise and reputation we will really be enhancing our level and scope of service offering," said John Denholm, Managing Director.

“I knew immediately that as companies we would fit together well," said Beaumont.

"We have the same consultative approach, where client and candidate are equally important, and I know that I am joining a team that has an entrepreneurial approach. The trust and credibility that has to be built up in your own business is not something I would transfer lightly, this is a great opportunity for the new, stronger combined agency to really make a mark within the legal and support services market sectors.”
