Built on People: How Greg Gilston Is Growing a Law Firm and Consultancy at the Same Time

What does it look like to build from scratch, while building around people at the same time? In this episode, Daniel sits down with Greg Gilston to unpack the reality of starting a law firm from the ground up, while also building a consultancy rooted in people, relationships, and long-term value. Greg shares how he’s approached both ventures with intention, balancing the demands of growth with a clear focus on culture and human connection. They dive into what it takes to build without a legacy foundation, how to create momentum early, and why putting people at the center of everything, from team to clients to partners, becomes a true differentiator. Greg also breaks down how his consultancy informs the way he builds his firm, and how both paths reinforce each other. This is a conversation about building from zero, leading with people, and creating something that’s designed to last.
