Gilson Gray celebrates ‘date with George Clooney’ at business awards

Law firm Gilson Gray LLP is celebrating its “date with George Clooney” as it gears up for the Scottish Business Awardsceremony on 12 November 2015.

The A-list actor is one of the special guests appearing at the awards ceremony, where he will take part in a Q&A session on the “Business of Hollywood” and his humanitarian work in sub-Saharan Africa.

Gilson Gray, which only opened its doors in May last year, has been nominated in two award categories - Customer Focus and Emerging Business of the Year.

The nominations went public days after Gilson Gray announced seven figure profits for its first year of trading, as well as the acquisition of the entire Commercial Dispute Resolution Team at Morisons Solicitors LLP.

Glen Gilson, managing partner at the firm said: “With the two nominations closely following our first year figures and continued expansion of the team, there is a real feel-good factor at Gilson Gray.

“We are extremely proud of what we have achieved in our first year of trading and sincerely thank our clients and the Scottish business community for their ongoing support.

“I also must thank all who have joined Gilson Gray for embracing the philosophy that clients want straight talking “can do” approachable advisors that understand and care about their objectives.

“Because of this we have retained our focus and integrity while establishing an enviable skill base, with expertise right across the legal landscape.

“Our clients truly are at the centre of our operation and it is particularly pleasing that we were nominated by a third party for the ‘Customer Focus’ award.”

The Scottish Business Awards ceremony is taking place in the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on 12 November.
