Report
I moved to Ottawa last September to start my business in Ottawa, and found Mr Ken Gibson's company through google. Mr GIbson spoke to me on the phone when I first called and he was very genuine, approachable and insightful. I have been working with his firm since then and I found his services to be very professional, prompt and valuable. He helped me incorporate in Ontario, and took part in negotiating a commercial lease, a practice acquisition, as well as assisting me with legal advise on employment law in Ontario. I highly recommend Mr Ken Gibson and his team for all commercial matters if you are looking for an experienced and solid representation.
