Two join Gilson Gray's Glasgow office

Two senior appointments have been announced to the Glasgow office of legal firm Gilson Gray.

Shirley Li-Ting joins as a senior associate within the business restructuring & recovery and corporate teams, while Laura Burns becomes an associate and head of private client.

Formerly with Maclay Murray & Spens, Ms Li-Ting began her career with DLA Piper before becoming a director at Maclay Murray & Spens. She is highly regarded in the restructuring market and has a breadth of experience across a number of sectors.

Ms Burns, who joins from Harper Macleod, recently became qualified with STEP, the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners.

Both will split their time between their Glasgow base and the firm's Edinburgh office.

The appointments bring the firm's headcount to 103. Glen Gilson, managing partner commented: “Our ethos is to give every single client the opportunity to work with the best legal talent in Scotland – and with Shirley and Laura we are very much continuing that. The knowledge and experience they both bring to their fields is exemplary and they are shining examples of what we do best."
