Gilson Gray opens in Dundee with promise of more hires

Legal firm Gilson Gray has continued its rapid growth by launching a new office in Dundee.

Located on South Tay Street, the office will offer a full range of services, from legal and property to financial advice through its investment arm Gilson Gray Financial Management. It adds to the firm's existing bases in Edinburgh, Glasgow and North Berwick.

In November, the firm announced it had acquired Edinburgh-based Coulters Letting to add residential letting capability to its property services operation.

Glen Gilson, managing partner of Gilson Gray and chairman of the Gilson Gray Group, commented: "There is a strong market in Dundee with a rapidly growing urban population and a rejuvenated business sector, making this a perfect opportunity to serve local companies and communities.

"We’re delighted to be able to offer our award-winning services to those in the Dundee and Tayside area.

"This is the natural next step for us – it’s another point of expansion and reflects our goal to be the best law firm in Scotland." 

He added: "Personally, I am delighted to see Gilson Gray in Dundee – in a way this brings my legal career back around to where it began, to where I studied law at Dundee University. Others in the firm are similarly connected, living in Dundee or the surrounding area, with close ties to the community.

"We look forward to adding to our team in due course, sourcing the very best of talent from the local legal, property and financial community. Our early appointments in this regard will be announced shortly and we are frankly delighted with their calibre."
