As we move through the last month of 2025, we are reflecting on a remarkable and transformative year for our firm.
It’s been a year defined by progress, achievement and a deepening commitment to the people and communities we serve.
Strengthening our Legal Team
In 2025, we continued to invest in the strength and future of our team. In February, Fergus Thomson, Solicitor Advocate, was appointed as Director. This was a proud moment for the firm and a testament to Fergus’s expertise, leadership and dedication to clients.
In March, we celebrated a raft of well-earned promotions across the business. Several colleagues were promoted to Senior Paralegal, including Deonne Stirling, Nicola Bremner, Seonaidh Currie and Kirsty Hinds. Their talent, hard work and commitment to client care are key to the service we deliver every day.
We were also delighted to recognise a number of colleagues who reached an exceptional milestone this year. Several members of staff celebrated their ten-year anniversaries with Gildeas. Their loyalty and long-standing contribution have helped shape the firm we are today.
Fighting for the Injured Across Scotland
Throughout 2025, our solicitors secured millions in settlements for people injured through no fault of their own.
But our work is about far more than recovering financial compensation. We focus on helping clients rebuild their lives by arranging the right medical treatment, rehabilitation support and expert assistance from the earliest possible stage. Whether this involves physiotherapy, psychological care, specialist assessments or ongoing therapeutic input – our aim is always to help each client return to the position they were in before their accident, as fully and quickly as possible.
Every case represents a family facing uncertainty, a person in pain, or a life upended – and it remains our privilege to guide our clients through their most difficult moments.
Giving Back to the Community Who Supports Us
Our commitment to community work remained strong this year.
In June, a team from Gildeas took part in the Tough Mudder challenge to raise funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young, a charity carrying out vital work to reduce the number of young people who lose their lives to sudden cardiac conditions.
This cause was especially close to our hearts. Our fundraising was dedicated to the memory of Ashwin Bali, a young doctor who tragically passed away in 2024 from sudden cardiac arrest.
The team raised more than £6700 in his honour, and we are immensely grateful to everyone who supported us.
Looking Ahead
As we prepare for 2026, we do so with gratitude for the trust our clients have placed in us, pride in our team’s remarkable achievements, and excitement for the future at Gildeas.
We might have evolved, but our mission – protecting the injured, fighting for justice and supporting our community – remains the same.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
From all of us at Gildeas Solicitors, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy and optimistic New Year.
