| The Mellor Olsson History |
|
Today's firm emanates from the merger of Mellor Olsson and Bonnins in October 2001. Both were commercial firms of long standing with a tradition of quality and integrity comprising specialist practitioners providing business and personal legal services. The merger saw a larger, leaner firm with Bonnins strong commercial and IT client base completing and broadening Mellor Olsson, while increasing internal specialisation.
Bonnins was established in the 1800s and eventually named after its well known senior partner and Adelaide businessman of the 60s - Frew Bonnin.
The name "Mellor Olsson" was first used after the merger of "Mellors" and "Olssons" in February 1992 when the two firms saw the opportunity to bring their commercial clients and personal practices together forming a natural balance to the other's business.
"Mellors" originated from the firm of W&T Pope in 1875 and "Olssons" originally formed in 1909 made history when it appointed South Australia's first female solicitor in 1917 (Mary Kitson).
While the nature of legal practice has changed considerably since the origins of today's firm, vital elements such as trust and confidence of our clients remain as important to us as ever.
