Dickson Minto continued to plough its lucrative corporate furrow north and south of the Scottish border last year. The 17-partner boutique maintained its longstanding track record of advising on deals for which far larger firms would give a full set of molars. Last year these included Frasers' acquisition of Edinburgh's well-known retailer Jenners, the sale of Artemis Fund Managers' premium funds service, Standard Life's launch of two retail unit trusts and Bank of Scotland's take private of UA Group by Elphinstone Land.

The firm has doubled its office space recently in both London and Edinburgh to cater for continued expansion, while during the year it also became the first Scottish firm to convert to a multinational practice (MNP) following the introduction of the MNP legislation on 1 May 2005. The move means Dickson Minto no longer needs separate licences to operate as a partnership in England and Scotland.
