Gilson Gray opens new Edinburgh office

Gilson Gray, the UK’s fastest-growing law firm, has made a significant move to strengthen its foothold in Edinburgh by opening a fourth office located at 14 Rutland Square. This addition joins its existing offices at 6, 25, and 29 Rutland Square, reflecting the firm’s ambition to accommodate its expanding team and respond effectively to the rising demand for its extensive range of legal, property, and financial services not only in Scotland but throughout the UK.

The firm has achieved impressive financial results, with turnover projected to rise from £32 million in FY2023-24 to £40 million in FY2024-25, and forecasts for FY2025-26 to surpass £50 million. Such growth is complemented by various accolades, including a shortlist for Legal Firm of the Year at the upcoming British Business Awards. Furthermore, in 2025, Gilson Gray was recognised as Law Firm of the Year at The Herald Law Awards of Scotland. Glen Gilson has also been shortlisted for CEO of the Year at the British Business Awards, highlighting the firm's leadership and success in the industry.

With nearly 500 employees across multiple locations including Glasgow, Dundee, East Lothian, Aberdeen, Angus, London, and Lincoln, Gilson Gray continues to pursue nationwide expansion. Despite this rapid growth, the firm is dedicated to maintaining the agility, culture, and client-first approach that have become hallmarks of its identity.

In discussing the new Edinburgh office, Glen Gilson, chairman and managing partner at Gilson Gray, expressed, “Opening a fourth office in Edinburgh felt like a natural step as we continue to grow and meet increased demand from clients in the capital. Rutland Square offers one of the most impressive locations in the city, and we are committed to providing our staff and clients with spaces that suit their needs. We’re excited to build on this momentum and continue expanding our presence in the UK.”
