Our Firm

The Firm was established in the 1920s as a branch office of a Torquay firm known as P.H.Smith and Co. The original Partners in the Firm were Herbert Gowman and Thomas Edwin Easterbrook and it subsequently became known as Gowmans Easterbrook Smith and Co., and later Gowman Easterbrook and Co.

The Firm had offices in Palace Avenue, Paignton, and later in Victoria Street. However, in 1931 the Firm moved to 65 Hyde Road and in 1948 63 Hyde Road was bought and the two premises amalgamated.

Our knowledge of the local areas, strong relationships with local businesses and years of experience support and enhance our practice areas. Whatever the problem and wherever it arises, our lawyers can work individually or in specially assembled teams to deliver the best result.
