Full-service UK law firm Gilson Gray has appointed experienced property lawyer Jeremy Davy as partner and head of its residential conveyancing division for England and Wales, strengthening its position as one of the country’s leading conveyancing practices. Based in Lincoln, Davy will oversee operations across England and Wales, focusing on growth, technology-driven efficiency, and recruitment in key regions.
Davy joins from Broadfield Law, where he was chief operating officer and partner, overseeing legal operations and driving business growth. His career also includes senior roles at Connells Group, where he worked alongside Debbie McCathie, now head of residential conveyancing at Gilson Gray. Earlier in his career, he was a partner at Shoosmiths, helping establish and expand the firm’s conveyancing arm, and has advised HM Government, RICS, The Law Society and Land Registry on home buying reform.
McCathie said the appointment ‘marks another important step in our ambition to become the leading provider of residential conveyancing services across the UK’. She added that Davy’s ‘strategic insight and commitment to innovation will be invaluable as we continue to grow our operations’.
Commenting on his move, Davy said: ‘Gilson Gray has been on my radar for some time, and I’ve long admired its ambition and rapid expansion. 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.’
