About CG Gillis & Co.
Established in 1973, the firm has spent more than fifty years providing companies and individuals carrying on business to navigate important decisions, resolve disputes and manage complex legal challenges. CG Gillis & Co focuses on selective areas of legal practice rather than operating as a high-volume general practice. This approach allows clients to receive direct access to experienced solicitors and receive strategic and practical advice tailored to each of our clients. Our philosophy is to provide clear and concise legal advice, maintain direct relationships with clients and focus on achieving practical outcomes.
As the practice expands, including plans to grow the legal team over the coming years, CG Gillis & Co remains committed to preserving its core values by providing the legal services and responsiveness that clients want.
