A former partner and head of family law at Turcan Connell, Mr Loudon has nearly 40 years of experience in the field.

Mr Loudon said: “I am delighted to be joining one of Scotland’s most progressive firms and in particular to renew my business relationship with Philippa Cunniff and Sally Nash with whom I enjoyed many successful years in practice.

“I look forward to helping them further build on the strength of Gilson Gray’s family law team.”

Department head Philippa Cunniff said: “We are delighted that Alasdair has chosen to join us as a consultant. This is a solid endorsement of the superb quality of the team and the service we offer within the family law sphere.

“Sally and I have worked with Alasdair in the past, and our shared history and values ensure that we share a clear focus on the importance of working as a strong team to provide a top-quality service to our clients.

“In the relatively short period since establishing the family law team at Gilson Gray, we have grown significantly and have established ourselves as one of the most highly regarded teams in Scotland.

“This year alone, we have seen the elevation of Sally Nash to partner and have been joined by Denise Laverty and Sarah Feeney in Glasgow. To now be able to announce Alasdair’s appointment as a consultant is hugely exciting and demonstrates the firm’s commitment to the team and the work we do.”
