Full-service UK law firm Gilson Gray has appointed Jeremy Davy as partner and head of its residential conveyancing division for England and Wales.
Based in Lincoln, Davy will oversee Gilson Gray’s residential conveyancing division, with a focus on expanding the team’s operations, enhancing efficiency through technology and AI, and growing its headcount in key locations.
‘Gilson Gray has been on my radar for some time, and I’ve long admired its ambition and rapid expansion’, Davy said.
“I’m excited to join at such a dynamic stage for the firm and to help further develop its market-leading conveyancing operation, driving innovation and supporting continued growth across England and Wales.”
Davy joins Gilson Gray from Broadfield Law, where he was chief operating officer and partner, overseeing legal operations and business growth. He was previously director of conveyancing at Connells Group, and began his legal career at Shoosmiths, where he progressed to partner and played a key role in establishing and growing the firm’s conveyancing arm.
He also served as an adviser to HM Government, RICS, The Law Society and Land Registry in relation to residential property matters and home buying reform.
Debbie McCathie, head of residential conveyancing at Gilson Gray, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Jeremy to the team. His appointment marks another important step in our ambition to become the leading provider of residential conveyancing services across the UK. Jeremy’s strategic insight and commitment to innovation will be invaluable as we continue to grow our operations.”
The appointment marks a key step in Gilson Gray’s continued expansion across England and follows a series of senior hires, including Monika Haidar as partner and head of residential conveyancing for London, and Rajan Shori as partner and head of real estate for England. The firm has 450 employees offering a full suite of legal services across offices in Lincoln, London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, East Lothian, Aberdeen and Angus.
