As the result of several mergers and a period of rapid growth, the practice now has 16 Partners and over 100 staff.

Historically, LJ Heron & Co were established in Durham shortly after the end of the Second World War. Following the retirement of Mr Heron in 1978 the firm changed its name to Burt Hart & Pratt.

Steavenson Plant and Park were established in Darlington in the 1830's and continued to practice in that name until a merger took place between Burt Hart & Pratt and Stevenson Plant and Park in 1993, the result of which was the formation of Blackett Hart & Pratt.

More recently additional mergers have included Walton Hardy and Clough of Darlington, and Deas Mallen in 1998 and 2001 respectively.

Deas Mallen Souter were formed in December 1989 in Newcastle upon Tyne as a niche civil litigation practice.

Blackett Hart & Pratt now occupies offices in Newcastle, Durham and Darlington including a new office at Belmont Business Park, Durham.
