Tracy McAlpine

Ms McAlpine brings more than two decades of experience to the firm and has spent the last 10 years specialising in newbuild transactions, working closely with a number of national housebuilders. Prior to joining the business, she was newbuild director at MOV8 Real Estate and has previously held roles at McVey and Murricane and other Scottish legal firms.

Based in Glasgow, she recently completed her LLB, having studied at Robert Gordon University.

Ms McAlpine said: “Working with a number of national housebuilders has given me a valuable understanding of how best to support my clients in navigating the quirks of buying a newbuild home. As a result, my team can make the process as smooth and hassle-free for buyers as possible.

“It is great to be joining a forward-thinking firm which supports legal professionals on different career paths – much like the one I have taken myself – particularly through its Conveyancing Academy.

“Also, given the diverse range of legal services offered by Gilson Gray, I now have the opportunity to engage clients for life, which is important to me. I’m looking forward to being part of the next chapter of Gilson Gray’s growth.”

Debbie McCathie, partner and head of residential conveyancing at Gilson Gray, added: “Bringing Tracy in to lead our newbuild team will boost our conveyancing offering for existing and future clients, providing expert guidance for every type of property transaction.”
