He leads our insolvency litigation team and is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a specialist in Insolvency Law. He is also a member of the R3 – the Association of Business Recovery Professionals. The Legal 500 identifies Gary as a “Leading Individual” for insolvency disputes and he is recommended by Chambers for "commerciality, people skills and subject matter knowledge”.
