Gilson Gray appoints head of residential conveyancing

Law firm Gilson Gray has appointed seasoned property lawyer Jeremy Davy as partner and head of its residential conveyancing division for England and Wales.

Based in Lincoln, Jeremy will oversee Gilson Gray’s residential conveyancing division across England and Wales. He will focus on expanding the team’s operations, enhancing efficiency through technology and AI, and growing its headcount in key locations.

Jeremy brings a wealth of experience to the role and joins from Broadfield Law, where he was chief operating officer and partner, overseeing legal operations and driving business growth.

Prior to that, Jeremy was director of conveyancing at Connells Group, where he first worked with Debbie McCathie, head of residential conveyancing at Gilson Gray, to develop strategic partnerships.

Jeremy began his legal career at Shoosmiths, where he progressed to partner and played a key role in establishing and growing the firm’s conveyancing arm. He also served as an advisor to HM Government, RICS, The Law Society and Land Registry in relation to residential property matters and home buying reform.

Debbie McCathie, head of residential conveyancing at Gilson Gray, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jeremy to the team. His appointment marks another important step in our ambition to become the leading provider of residential conveyancing services across the UK.

“Jeremy’s strategic insight and commitment to innovation will be invaluable as we continue to grow our operations. At Gilson Gray, we’re proud to offer clients a seamless experience across every aspect of property, legal, and financial services.”

Jeremy added: “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.”
