SCOTS legal firm Gilson Gray has appointed an oil and gas leader as a new partner, strengthening its corporate practice in Aberdeen.
Findlay Anderson has spent the past two decades in senior leadership roles across the energy industry, including at GE Oil and Gas and as partner at McGrigors.
Most recently he was vice president and general counsel for oilfield equipment at Baker Hughes, supporting global operations.
He is currently chair of Offshore Energies UK’s (OEUK) Diversity and Inclusion Task Group, and also sits on the policy council for Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce.
The appointment follows a series of deals in Scotland and England, which has seen Gilson Gray rapidly expand, including the acquisition of The Law Practice in Aberdeen earlier this year.
Anderson joins a Scotland-wide corporate team, across offices in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and East Lothian.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Gilson Gray while it’s still in a period of enormous growth,” he said.
“I’ve been watching the firm go from strength to strength in Aberdeen and beyond, building a reputation as one of Scotland’s leading legal firms.”
Glen Gilson, Chairman and Managing Partner of Gilson Gray, added: “Findlay is a prime example of the talent we are adding to our firm as we seek to rapidly expand in major cities across the UK.
“He is not only an exceptional lawyer but comes with significant management experience.”
“He is a strong commercial operator and I am delighted to have him join our business.”
Established in 2014, Gilson Gray has become one of Scotland’s most-acquisitive law, property, and finance firms, with one of the widest service ranges in Scotland, and a growing service offering across the UK.
