Who are Brunton Miller Solicitors?

Brunton Miller was a Scottish law firm, based in Glasgow and Helensburgh. The firm was formed from the amalgamation of two firms that were established in the 1880s. They operated for over a century, throughout the first world war and beyond.

The firm was well-known throughout Glasgow and surrounding areas for its specialisms in licencing law, property, family law, litigation, and private client services before it ceased to practise.

The firm also provided expert estate administration services, including advice on Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Inheritance tax.

Former clients should not expect to receive further services from Brunton Miller Solicitors post-closure and will need to seek new legal representation for any new or on-going matters.

What does the sudden closure of Brunton Miller Solicitors mean for clients?

Clients have reported being owed thousands of pounds following the closure of Brunton Miller Solicitors. Since the announcement at the beginning of November 2025, the Law Society of Scotland has been contacted by a significant number of clients regarding the closure.

The role of the judicial factor & the law society of Scotland

The Law Society of Scotland advises former clients to contact the Judicial Factor’s team for information regarding their cases, files, or outstanding payments.

Each situation is different, and the appropriate next step will depend on your individual circumstances and the arrangements put in place to ensure a secure transition following the closure.

General support for former Brunton Miller clients

Former clients of Brunton Miller Solicitors may benefit from taking some general steps following the closure of the firm, even if there is no immediate issue.

This may include:

Checking the status of any ongoing legal matters
Making a note of key dates, deadlines or correspondence you may still have
Confirming where important documents such as Wills, title deeds or Powers of Attorney are held
