What our clients have to say
Taryn is a pleasure to deal with, she is very knowledgeable, professional and quick in her communication - I couldn't recommend her & Cowan Law highly enough.

Kat Jacobs
Taryn created a rather unique employee agreement for me which required a fair amount time for legal research.
She was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Prompt, attentive and consistent with communication on progression of the document.
I would highly recommend her work and will most definitely be utilising her services again in the future.
Thanks again Taryn!
