Professional services group Gateley has marked ten years since opening its Belfast office. The firm held an event at The Merchant Hotel to note the anniversary.

Gateley's Belfast team has grown to 35 people. The office advises clients across areas including reputation management, privacy, brand protection, commercial litigation, real estate, public procurement, commercial contracts, construction, banking and insolvency. It also offers private client services such as wills, probate and residential conveyancing.

Alison Reid, partner and head of Gateley's Belfast office, said the past decade has been a period of growth for both the office and Northern Ireland's economy. She said the firm has invested in its people, expanded services, and combined local knowledge with the resources of a national group.

Reid said Gateley is proud to have supported businesses, developers and investors across Northern Ireland and to have contributed to projects that drove economic growth and regeneration. She said the firm looks forward to building on that success.

The Belfast team has also supported local community organisations. Partnerships include Aspire NI and East Belfast Mission, with colleagues helping to raise funds and support initiatives.

Reid said the firm is equally proud of its community contribution and remains committed to investing in talent and expanding capabilities to help clients and communities respond to new opportunities and challenges.
