The long-established Gibraltar law firm of Triay & Triay are in expansion mode.

Raymond (Monchi) Triay (who needs no introducing!) has rejoined the firm after an absence of 5 years, bringing with him his invaluable experience in the commercial litigation, admiralty and shipping fields as well as an extensive private client base. In addition, Monchi practices law in Spain, being registered with the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Cadiz, from offices in Sotogrande. This ties in neatly with the firm’s overall expansion plans. Monchi will form part of the litigation team at the firm, as well as continuing the Spanish practice. “For numerous and some very obvious reasons, we are all delighted to welcome Monchi back to the firm” said J.E. (Melo) Triay (Jnr) Managing Partner.

Also recently appointed is the international business consultant Charlie Gubbins, he will work with the firm to spearhead the firm’s rebranding, marketing and expansion drive as well as manage the human resources, IT and administration side of the law firm.

“Charlie, who has held senior management posts in top international companies such as Rothmans, Gallaher, American Brands and Reckitt Benckisser, is the ideal man to deliver the growth and solutions we need to increase the value and delivery of excellent service to our clients all over the globe”, said Melo.

“When you have been around for as long as we have, the team needs key personnel in non–legal positions that can also look at the firm from the outside and from a totally different perspective. We are proud to have created an “innovative” professional team, committed to growth and progress, whilst retaining traditional values and integrity which have helped us to build up our reputation over the years”. Melo went on to say.

“The skill sets I bring to the firm are ones of corporate business and people management; my aims will be to let the Lawyers get on with what they are good at. My challenge will be the introduction and day to day monitoring of management systems and to concentrate on new business development”, said Charlie.

Charlie, who is also fluent in Spanish and French, is a man who can communicate vision, empower others, and continually raises the bar for the team, and himself.
