Dundas & Wilson is set to vacate its Aberdeen and London premises as the Scottish firm prepares to merge with CMS Cameron McKenna (CMS UK).

Dundas' Aberdeen and London partners will move into CMS UK's offices over next weekend, immediately after the tie-up goes live on 1 May.

CMS UK already has offices in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, established 20 and 15 years ago respectively. The merger has also given the firm a base in Glasgow, where Dundas runs a paralegal-led legal services unit which aims to cut client costs by taking on routine work.
