Full-service UK law firm Gilson Gray has strengthened its real estate division in England with the appointment of Shuhel Ahmed as partner.
Shuhel joins the firm from Pepperells Solicitors, where he spent the last decade specialising in commercial property, both in solicitor and director roles. His expertise includes the sale and purchase of businesses and investment properties, as well as dealing with all aspects of transactions such as leases, conditional contracts and financial arrangements.
Based in Lincoln but covering all of England and Wales, Shuhel joins Gilson Gray’s growing real estate specialism to support the development and expansion of the team. Just last month, the firm appointed experienced real estate and property lawyer Rajan Shori as the new head of the English division.
Now with over 450 employees offering a full suite of legal services across offices in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, East Lothian, Aberdeen, Lincoln, and Angus, Gilson Gray is one of the fastest-growing law firms in the UK.
Glen Gilson, chair and managing partner of Gilson Gray, said: “Shuhel is a welcome addition to our real estate team and another key hire to support the growth of the division. Our presence in England continues to go from strength to strength, and we look forward to further expansion during the months ahead.”
Shuhel added: “The ambitious and entrepreneurial spirit that is reflected throughout Gilson Gray’s achievements to date is what sets it apart from the crowd, and in my view, it is an incredible opportunity to join the team for the next chapter. My experience spans both business development and people management, which will help us to become a key player in UK property.”
