Dedicated and Efficient Team

5

James Orpin has handled our commercial contracts for many years and was the natural choice as our lead lawyer when we came to selling the business. We love James' clear communication and efficient turn around, coupled with his commercial experience to find solutions. We had never worked with the wider Tozers team before, but were very impressed by the strength and depth in their team, all with a common dedication and tenacity to getting things completed to a deadline. Many thanks to James and the Tozers Team

I have been very impressed with how Catriona dealt with all the inquiries which sometimes came in considerable quantities and required immediate attention, particularly in the days leading up to the auction, also the replies given by her team when she was out of office.

Tozers handles a protracted transaction for the Museum of Policing in Devon & Cornwall (negotiation of a lease). This was handled efficiently and effectively throughout, for which thanks.

Another great service from Tozers. Good quality work - despite dealing with some complicated issues - which resulted in a satisfactory completion. Clear and easy to understand explanations of the work being undertaken and very responsive to questions and comments. Overall, the service provided good value when compared to similar services.
