We are so grateful for everything Kerri has done for us to help with selling our old house then buying our new one. She was always quick to reply and helped us at every stage of the process, helping us to feel informed and involved. Would highly recommend!

From start to finish my solicitor Alan…

From start to finish my solicitor Alan Craig took control of everything, guiding me step by step through what can be a very stressful situation, while keeping calm and professional at all times. His communication and correspondence was clear and reassuring, when we hit hurdles and there were a few, his advice and instruction enabled me to overcome them. I would not hesitate to recommend Gilson & Gray and particularly Alan Craig to manage the safe sale or purchase of your property. Alan thank you for carrying the burden of the sale of my property.

House Sale

House selling, especially after a death, is a stressful event but I was lucky to have great help in the sale and conveyancing. I really can't fault Gilson Gray for professionalism and deft handling of the process. Definite 5* from me.

Testimonial - Steven Eckett, Partner and Head of Employment (England), Gilson Gray (England) Ltd.

We engaged Steven Eckett to support Blueprint Design Company Limited during a critical period of employment contract review, in light of forthcoming changes in UK employment legislation, and amid a broader business transition.

Steven provided clear, pragmatic and highly responsive advice throughout. His ability to distil complex employment matters into precise, actionable guidance gave us the confidence to proceed with the drafting and issuance of updated contracts, as well as the management of sensitive employee engagement processes.

Of particular note was Steven’s handling of a challenging individual case where contractual discussions were repeatedly contested and accompanied by inaccurate interpretations and AI-generated rebuttals. His measured, evidence-based approach ensured that the company’s position was robustly validated, enabling us to address and resolve the situation efficiently. His timely interventions directly contributed to the withdrawal of unfounded claims, supporting a controlled and professional outcome during a high-risk phase of employment.

Throughout our interactions, Steven consistently demonstrated exceptional clarity, speed of response, and sound commercial judgement. His support materially reduced the burden on management and ensured that the process remained structured, compliant and proportionate.

We would not hesitate to recommend Steven Eckett and Gilson Gray (England) Ltd for employment law support, particularly where clarity, responsiveness and practical delivery are essential.

Excellent experience with Rowan

I had an excellent experience with Rowan. As a first time buyer, I was really nervous and a lot of questions but Rowan was amazing at reassuring me! The process was really smooth and I'm so pleased I chose Gilson Gray LLP.

Solicitor Services

Alan gave me consistsnt, clear updates and was very responsive when I had questions. They were friendly and understood that due to work I would not be able to reply for periods of time but was clear about everything he needed from me when it was required. For a first time buyer, everything went very smoothly.

Absolutely awful service

Absolutely awful service. Rarely keep promises to contact. Straightforward sale with no chain still ongoing after 15weeks with little to no update. Wish I’d not used them. So stressful and causing me huge stress I don’t need atm.

Amazing service from Gilson Gray

Amazing service from Gilson Gray. I recently purchased my first property and Kirsty McNally offered extremely professional and outstanding service throughout the process. Kirsty kept me updated with all communications and ensured the transaction went as smoothly as possible. Would highly recommend their services to all, and a special thanks to Kirsty for all the support!

Rachel was amazingly supportive throughout, nothing was too much trouble. Any questions we had ( & we had a few, maybe daft ones too) were answered in a way we understood. Although extremely professional, Rachel was personable too! 5 stars x
