Gilson Gray has acquired The Law Practice to expand its offering in Aberdeen.
The Law Practice's owner Lesley McKnight, and her team, will join Gilson Gray at its Blenheim Place offices.
The deal will see a new estate agency department added to the firm’s offering in the city and surrounding areas.
The Law Practice was established in 2005 and McKnight took over as principal solicitor in 2018. She specialises in private client services and previously held roles with Ledingham Chalmers and Brodies.
The takeover follows a series of recent deals in Scotland and England, which has seen Gilson Gray grow into new geographies and markets. The firm now has offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, East Lothian, Dundee and Lincoln.
Glen Gilson, chair and managing partner of Gilson Gray, said: “The Law Practice is well known in Aberdeen and is a fitting addition to our operation.
“Since launching in 2014, Gilson Gray has built up a reputation for disruption in the legal market and has grown at record rates.
“We are looking for the very best in local talent to join us in Aberdeen to further supplement the excellent team we have built and would encourage any interested lawyer or indeed potential client to get in touch.”
McKnight added: “It is great to be joining a forward-thinking modern team like Gilson Gray, with a culture that supports both the next generation of clients and legal professionals.
“With access to a wider range of services and experts, we are growing our own professional family to continue looking after our clients and their families.”
