Robert Gilmour

Spear’s Review

‘You can learn from others, but you can only be truly successful by finding your own voice,’ says Robert Gilmour, a partner at SKO Family Law in Edinburgh. He describes being inspired by his clients, and that ‘the humour, resilience and generosity of people in the most trying of circumstances is a constant source of inspiration’.

Gilmour advises individuals in relation to all types of complex legal issues arising from relationship breakdown, parent/child relationships and family relationships more generally, and has a particular interest in issues relating to assisted reproduction and parentage, including surrogacy. He is also an accredited family law mediator and arbitrator.

One of the more challenging areas of Gilmour’s work arises from the increasingly global and highly mobile nature of HNW families, which makes for complex cases across multiple jurisdictions.
