David Whitlock

Business Development Director

Areas: Real Estate Finance & Banking,
Corporate & Commercial

A corporate finance banker with almost 40 years’ experience in the City of London, David’s contacts across the corporate/commercial world are far reaching and an asset to GSC’s clients, particularly in relation to banking relationships and debt or equity fund raising.

“I effect introductions,” he says. “I also use my contacts and experience to help clients build better relationships with their banks, so that they can find their way out whatever financial cul-de-sac they have found themselves in.”

David recognises opportunities that lawyers might not, helping to add the value on which GSC’s reputation is built. It’s a role he relishes.

“I just love it,” David says. “I love being part of the City and City life. And I enjoy getting involved in a business and helping to develop it.”

He feels similarly enthusiastic about GSC. “GSC feels as much my baby as anybody else’s. As far as I’m concerned, it has to be the best small law firm in the City of London, bar none.”

David is in fact an active member of GSC‘s management, sitting on the Firm’s Board.

Qualifications & Experience

A career banker with NatWest/RBS, David was Managing Director of the UK Corporate Banking division for ten years. Early retirement saw him join City law firm Stephenson Harwood as Business Development Director. He then joined RSM Baker Tilly where, as a Director at an Accountancy Practice, he was “doing much the same as I’m doing at GSC but within the accountancy world”.

David joined GSC in 2017.

back to profiles

‘A small firm which punches well above its weight’ GSC Solicitors LLP undertook leasing transactions for several blue-chip corporate tenants, particularly in the media sector. It acted for a number of hotel owners regarding the acquisition and development of new hotels.

“We have found the service excellent, and it is for this reason we have continued to use GSC. The key strengths for us have been a commercial approach to deals that is often missing from solicitors, and a personal service based on a knowledge of us and our needs and long-term plans.”

“The main positive comparison we have noted from GSC is the personal touch and commercial acumen.”

“We have often used different legal firms for IP and other work in the past, but GSC’s commercial approach and professionalism, coupled with the excellent working relationship we have built up over a number of years makes it our preferred choice.”

“As a Financial Advisor I have been personally using and recommending GSC for over thirty years. I have referred clients of mine to them and only ever been thanked for the recommendation, which should convey the confidence I have in the individuals, and the firm.”

“Great result today. Just wanted to say thank you for your continued hard work in fighting our corner on this case. You have both been amazing. Michael incredible support and good ideas.”
