Devon law firm recruit new duo

Daniel Gresswell and Ashley Bevans join the team

Daniel Gresswell specialises in the corporate and commercial side of the business with Ashley Bevans focussing on commercial property. 

Daniel was working with Toller Beattie when the Barnstaple-based legal firm merged with Wollens last October. He was made a Wollens partner just a few weeks ago.

Married with four children, the 55-year-old qualified and worked in the South East until last year when he joined Toller Beattie.

He is delighted to be part of the Wollens team and said: “Wollens is a solid firm with a good reputation that is looking to grow particularly in the Corporate Commercial world."

Daniel, who is based at Wollens’ office in Exeter, advises clients from the start-up of a sole trader business to the eventual share or asset sale of a thriving business and on most issues that occur in between.

He is also experienced in franchising, partnerships, agency and outsourcing and says: “As a solicitor it is important to be client-focused at all times and recognise that we are more than ever a service industry.”

He is a sports lover, following Exeter Chiefs and Somerset County Cricket Club. He also enjoys surfing and has been known to make the odd triathlon attempt to raise money for charity.

Ashley, 37, has only recently joined Wollens after several years working in the Devon and Torbay area.

He is currently engaged and is due to be married in October next year. His family have been in Devon for the past 35 years having moved from the West Midlands to Torbay when he was two.
