The time-scale was very tight and I received sound advice and an extremely quick turn around.

I’d recommend that small businesses contact Gavin to see how he can help them before going to the bigger institutions.”

On asking around, Gavin Tosh was recommended by a couple of associates. Pretty quickly we met and within days he had produced new T&Cs. I am delighted with the results and my mind is now at ease, knowing that my T&Cs are comprehensive enough to deal with most eventualities. Gavin also gave me some other excellent advice on other aspects of my admin processes such as Proposals and Order confirmations.

I would highly recommend Gavin and will be very happy to seek his advice and services in the future”

Leone Shaw Tulloch, Owner, LST Solutions

Gavin has shown a great understanding of my pet services business both from my own perspective, to protect my business interests, and from that of my clients, ensuring fairness, balance and commitment from both sides. I will be using Gavin for future legal services and have no hesitation in providing a recommendation to others. Gavin also runs a Net-Walking event on a monthly basis for business owners to join together for a walk with their dogs. This is a great concept and so different from the usual networking format that it really appeals. I hope to enhance my own business and social contacts through these events and am looking forward to a long and fruitful business association with Gavin and Clerwood Legal.”
