Real estate specialist Gregor Duthie and litigator Stephen Forsyth have both stepped up from legal director to partner.

Mr Duthie joins the partnership with more than 20 years’ experience in the commercial real estate sector. Known for his pragmatic, solutions-focused advice, he works with a diverse client base, including international investors, cross-border portfolio holders and local occupiers.

Mr Forsyth brings 15 years’ experience in litigation and dispute resolution, with a broad practice spanning contractual disputes, construction and property matters, and personal injury claims. His work has included securing numerous six-figure and multi-million-pound settlements, particularly in personal injury and medical negligence cases.

Mr Duthie said: “In the ten years I have been with the firm, Gilson Gray has built a strong reputation in the market as commercially savvy advisers. Becoming a partner allows me to champion the continued growth of both our Glasgow presence and the nationwide real estate team to guide our clients in achieving their goals.”

Mr Forsyth added: “The firm has provided a strong platform to develop my practice in Dundee and across Scotland, and I look forward to continuing to support clients while contributing to the ongoing success of the award-winning litigation team.”

Glen Gilson, chairman and managing partner of Gilson Gray, commented: “Stephen and Gregor are both highly regarded lawyers who embody the values and ambition of the firm. Their promotions are thoroughly deserved and reflect the strength and depth of talent we have across the business.

“This latest round of promotions demonstrates our commitment to investing in our people and supporting their progression as we continue to expand our presence and offering across Scotland and the UK.”
