Looking to the Future - Trading as
Gilmour Pike Chapman
Long established Scottish Borders Legal Firms, Douglas Gilmour & Son in Selkirk and
Pike & Chapman in Galashiels are to trade as Gilmour Pike Chapman.
Our joint Firms have enjoyed a history bridging over 150 years, and we pride ourselves on our commitment to developing strong client relationships. A personal approach is what distinguishes us from other Firms.
The Legal Partnership has now decided to build on this presence by formally combining the practices as a Limited Company. In doing so, they will also create one trading name, and from 1st April 2026, the Firm will officially become Gilmour Pike
Chapman Limited. The practice will continue to operate from the same office locations
but under this new brand identity.
Under the continued leadership of Partner, Stephanie Robertson, the new Company
also welcomes an exciting new appointment.
Well-known local Solicitor Iain Burke will
become a joint Director with Stephanie in April next year, bringing with him more than thirty years of experience as a Solicitor in the Scottish Borders and beyond.
Partner Stephanie Robertson says:
“Our practices have been serving many of the same families for generations and our reputation is built on the strong relationships that we forge with our
clients.
Many may not be aware that Douglas Gilmour & Son and Pike & Chapman have been one combined Partnership for many years and as a long-standing presence in each town, this arrangement has worked well.
My former Business Partner, William Windram, was a Partner of the Firm for over 40 years and following his retirement in September 2024, he has continued
as a Consultant to the Firm. I have been very fortunate to be in Partnership with William for over 10 years and I am sure he will be looking forward to
enjoying his well-deserved retirement from the Firm at the end of March 2026.
By bringing the two offices under one exciting new brand, I believe that Gilmour Pike Chapman can become an even stronger legal presence in the Scottish Borders and beyond, bringing with it an increased number of shared benefits for our clients
It is also with great pleasure to welcome Iain Burke to the team, a highly respected Solicitor from the Scottish Borders, who brings with him an immense
amount of experience and specialist knowledge.
As Gilmour Pike Chapman, our team look forward to continuing to serve our local communities and providing our clients with the best legal outcomes”.
On joining the business, Iain Burke says:
“This is a great opportunity for me to join Stephanie in the business at an exciting time for the Firm. I am looking forward to continuing to help the people
of the Scottish Borders with their legal needs as I have done since moving here in 1992. This move represents the next positive step in my legal career and I am very excited to be joining the Firm.”
