Gateley celebrates 10 years of growth and investment in Northern Ireland
Insight shared by:
Gateley marked a decade of growth and support for Belfast’s business community at a special event held at The Merchant Hotel.
Since launching Gateley’s Belfast office has evolved into a 35-strong multidisciplinary team supporting businesses, investors and developers across Northern Ireland. Located on Donegall Square East, the Belfast office has built a particularly strong reputation in the real estate sector while broadening the range of specialist services available to clients through Gateley’s integrated legal and professional services model.
Today, the team advises clients across reputation management, privacy, brand protection, commercial litigation, real estate, public procurement, commercial contracts, construction, banking and insolvency. The office also offers specialist private client services, including wills, probate and residential conveyancing. Working as part of Gateley’s wider multidisciplinary business, the Belfast team supports corporates, commercial brands, property and construction stakeholders including developers, contractors, funds and banks, as well as charities and private clients. This enables organisations to access expertise from a single provider, combining deep local knowledge with the resources of a national professional services group.
Speaking at the event, Alison Reid, partner and head of Gateley’s Belfast office, said: “The past 10 years have been an exciting period of growth, both for our Belfast office and for Northern Ireland’s economy.
“We have continued to invest in our people, expand our services and build a team that combines deep local knowledge with the strength and resources of a national professional services group.
“We are proud to have supported businesses, developers and investors across Northern Ireland, and to have contributed to projects that have driven economic growth and regeneration throughout the region. We look forward to building on that success and continuing our journey in the years ahead.”
Alongside its commercial success, Gateley’s Belfast team has maintained a strong commitment to supporting local communities. Colleagues have built long-standing partnerships with organisations including Aspire NI and East Belfast Mission, helping to raise funds and support initiatives that create opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds across Northern Ireland.
Alison Reid added: “While we are proud of our business growth, we are equally proud of the positive contribution we have made to local communities over the past ten years.
“As we look ahead to the next decade, we remain committed to investing in talent, expanding our capabilities and supporting clients and communities across Northern Ireland as they respond to new opportunities and challenges.”
