History
The firm's roots can be traced back to 1789 when the practice which was eventually to become Francis & Co was started in Cambridge by the 24-year-old newly qualified solicitor Christopher Pemberton. The original Mills & Reeve was formed in Norwich in 1880 when Henry Mills and Edmund Reeve came together to undertake the legal work arising out of the development of the tram system in Norwich.
The current Mills & Reeve practice was formed in 1987 by the merger of the Norwich-based Mills & Reeve and the Cambridge-based Francis & Co, forming Mills & Reeve Francis.
In 2013, Mills & Reeve merged with Manchester-based law firm George Davies and in 2017 merged with London firm Maxwell Winward.
In September 2014 Mills & Reeve formed an exclusive "best friends" alliance with the French law firm FIDAL.
