Fyfe Ireland and Tods Murray are to "merge" in a move that sees 16 Fyfe Ireland staff joining Tods Murray today.

The Fyfe Ireland name is to disappear. 

“Tods Murray is committed to remaining a leading full service Scottish law firm and part of this strategy is to grow our private client team," David Dunsire, Executive Partner for Tods Murray said.

Greig Honeyman, partner at the former Fyfe Ireland said: "I have heard it said that to succeed you must react faster to a client’s problem than the client can themselves. By combining our strengths with those of Tods Murray and indeed bringing our clients to Tods Murray, we will have the ability to provide the fulsome – and immediate - response that is needed in a modern, and at the moment difficult, economy."
