Gilson Gray boosts real estate team with new partner

We’re growing our Real Estate team – welcome, Shuhel Ahmed

We’re excited to welcome Shuhel Ahmed to Gilson Gray as a new partner in our real estate division in England.

Shuhel brings over a decade of experience in commercial property, having spent the last ten years at Pepperells Solicitors in both solicitor and director roles. His background includes handling everything from business and investment property transactions to leases, conditional contracts, and financial structuring. He’ll be based in Lincoln but will support clients right across England and Wales.

Shuhel’s arrival is another key step in the ongoing expansion of our English real estate offering. Just last month, we welcomed Rajan Shori as head of our English real estate team, and with Shuhel now on board, we’re continuing to build strength and depth in this area.

As one of the UK’s fastest-growing law firms—with over 450 people across offices in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Lincoln, East Lothian, and Angus—we’re committed to providing top-tier legal services across the country. Strengthening our real estate team is a big part of that vision.

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.”
