Interview
Neil Smith, Chief Financial Officer, shares some insight into his role.
I joined Gateley LLP in 2008 and was appointed as Finance Director in 2011. I became the first non-lawyer to be appointed as Partner within Gateley LLP following its successful application to become an Alternative Business Structure in January 2014. I was made Chief Financial Officer in May 2023.
I was a member of the management team on Gateley LLP’s acquisition of the commercial law business from Halliwells LLP in 2010 and following that, was involved in Gateley Plc’s admission to AIM. Since being appointed to the Plc Board in 2015, I have been involved in all of the subsequent acquisitions that have seen the Group expand beyond legal services into a law-led professional services Group.
