Law firm and estate agent Gilson Gray has doubled in size in Dundee by acquiring a city rival.

The company has completed a deal to takeover legal firm and estate agent Baillie Shepherd.

All Baillie Shepherd’s 15 employees will join Gilson Gray, including directors Alan Baillie and Peter Shepherd and well-known court solicitor Ken Glass.

Gilson Gray set up in Dundee last year and has a city workforce of more than 30 staff following the Baillie Shepherd deal.

Head of Dundee office Lindsay Darroch said the transaction takes the firm to the “next stage”.

“We’ve had a phenomenal first 12 months in Dundee,” he said.

“This move effectively doubles the size of the firm in Dundee and takes us into the top three as far solicitor estate agents are concerned.

“I have known Alan for a number of years and knew that we had much common ground in the way we do business and most importantly, how we look after clients.

“So this was a neat fit to move us quite quickly onto the next stage in relation to the Dundee market.”
