Gilson Gray has moved into a new law office in Aberdeen.
The 4,500 sq ft premises, secured on a long-term lease, is situated in Aberdeen’s west end at Blenheim Gate.
The change follows its first foray south of the border, announced earlier this month, with the takeover of Lincoln-based Home Property Lawyers.
Glen Gilson, group chairman and managing partner of Gilson Gray, said: “The legal marketplace is ripe for consolidation at the moment, and we are keen to offer stability and support for any firm, anywhere in Britain, which might benefit from joining the expanding Gilson Gray group.
“We now have offices stretching along the east coast of Scotland from Aberdeen to Dundee to East Lothian – as well as Edinburgh and Glasgow.”
Two partners will head up the new office, both natives of Aberdeen.
Calum Crighton, who currently leads Gilson Gray’s oil, gas and energy team, will work alongside Richard Shepherd, a leader for the firm's property services.
Crighton said: “We are committed to offering full services from Aberdeen and have already embarked on a recruitment drive to meet demand, focusing on hiring local people.”
Gilson Gray has grown in recent years, driven by organic client wins and acquisitions. Its financial management arm has been particularly active, taking over 13 financial services firms across Scotland, and with more in the pipeline.
