Specialising predominantly in transactional matters, Mr Gaskell’s work involves all aspects of non-contentious work, from initial contract procurement through to the drafting and negotiation of all types of construction contracts and related agreements.

His experience extends to a wide range of sectors and premises in the built environment; these include shopping centres, hotels, office buildings, student accommodation, retail units, industrial premises as well as transport and energy infrastructure. He also has extensive experience of the standard form contracts used across the construction industry.

Neil Kennedy, managing partner, said: “Our construction team is one of the longest-established specialist teams in Scotland with an unrivalled reputation in both contentious and non-contentious matters. This is a continued sign of our commitment to grow and develop our key practice areas and we are delighted to welcome Jonathan to the firm.”

Mr Gaskell added: “Joining a firm with such an impressive history, client list and admirable reputation is a huge privilege and I look forward to adding to the exciting growth and development plans across Scotland and beyond.”
