LAW firm Garricks has won three new clients.

The firm, which has offices in Blackburn and Wigan, has been appointed by Wigan-based data-management company Cloud Perspective, Warrington-based web and app developers The EMS Group, and Standish business advisory firm EPC Corporate.

Garricks is advising each business on a range of commercial legal matters.

Corporate partner Andy Herricks said: “We are seeing more companies, particularly owner-managed businesses and other SMEs, needing advice on legal matters relating to their expansion plans, such as intellectual property, new business contracts, joint ventures, new premises, recruitment and employment issues.”
