Director appointment and promotion at Blackadders

Legal firm Blackadders has announced two director appointments, one internal and one lateral hire. 

Gillian Gibbons, previously with Pagan Osborne, joins the rural land and business team bringing considerable experience in matters such as sale and acquisition of farms, estates and woodland, option agreements, security work and renewable energy projects.

In the same team Ellen Eunson has recently been promoted to director. She manages a number of rural matters from the firm's offices in Aberdeen and the Thainstone (livestock) Mart.

Head of team Petra Grunenberg commented: “We are delighted to have Gillian on board. She brings to the team considerable knowledge and experience and joins us at a very exciting time, both for our team and the firm. Her skills and experience will be invaluable and will complement the services we already offer to our rural clients.

She added: “Since joining the firm in 2014 as an associate, Ellen quickly became a key member of the team and has played a significant role in extending our services to our clients in the north east. We are very pleased to appoint her as a director.”
