Gilson Gray acquires Aberdeen practice

Gilson Gray has acquired The Law Practice as the full-service legal firm expands its operation in Aberdeen.

The Law Practice principal solicitor Lesley McKnight and her all female team will join Gilson Gray at its Blenheim Place offices, bringing further private client, property and estate agency expertise. The acquisition 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 Lesley McKnight, who specialises in private client services, took over as principal solicitor in 2018. 

Glen Gilson, chair and managing partner of Gilson Gray, commented: “The Law Practice is well known in Aberdeen and is a fitting addition to our operation. While many firms have chosen to reduce their footprint in the city, we are committed to servicing the business community and wider client base, with plans for further expansion to come.”

He added: “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.”

Ms McKnight added: “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. I’m looking forward to this new chapter.”
