The perfect turnkey firm for all family and business legal needs

I own an MSE business and needed quick support with an employment law matter. Michelle Kemp at Frettens Solicitors was extremely helpful, professional, and made me feel at ease in what could have been a very stressful situation. I will certainly be using Frettens Solicitors again in the future and would highly recommend them as a turnkey firm for all family and business legal needs.

First Class Service

As someone who transacts regularly and values efficiency, clarity, and professionalism, I entrust all of my legal work to Clare at Frettens. Clare consistently delivers an exceptional standard of service, and I cannot recommend her, and the wider team, highly enough. Their expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail have made every transaction smooth and stress-free.

A Truly Outstanding Solicitors Firm This is my second time using Frettens Solicitors, and once again they have exceeded every expectation. Working within the care industry, having a legal team that is prompt, knowledgeable, and consistently professional is absolutely essential—and I can say with complete confidence that I would not find a better firm to support my acquisitions than Frettens. A special thank you to Zoe Watson, Paul Longland, Hem Kumari, and Patsy Whitford. Each of them demonstrated exceptional expertise, clear communication, and a genuinely supportive approach throughout the entire process. Their responsiveness and attention to detail transformed what can often be a complex journey into a smooth and well‑managed experience. Frettens deliver a rare combination of efficiency, professionalism, and a personal touch. I would not hesitate to return to them again and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable, high‑quality legal support.

Frettens Solicitors have supported Decorum since 2017 and have advised us through every major milestone, including UK rail contracts, private equity investment rounds, and ultimately our acquisition by JR East. Their advice has always been commercial, pragmatic, and grounded in a deep understanding of our business. Matthew Fretten has led our relationship throughout and is an exceptional trusted adviser. Zoe Watson has been fundamental to our success, particularly during the JR East transaction, and her commitment and attention to detail were invaluable. More recently, Paul Longland has joined the team supporting us and has already made a very positive impact. We look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership as Frettens expand their commercial team and support us through further acquisitions, contracts, and international growth. Highly recommended.

Frettons Solicitors

My experience has been on the receiving end of high level of efficiency, transparency, communication, attention to detail and feeling safe and secure in their hands. Their charges have not been excessive and they have actually endeavoured to keep costs down where possible with compromising the quality of the standard of work. Without hesitation I would use their skills again and recommend them to others. They have been brilliant and allayed my fears about dealing with solicitors.

Excellent for buying a Freehold

I have used Frettens before to handle Probate and a house sale / purchase. I have always found them good. This time I decided to use them to buy a Freehold on a London based property while I was living abroad. Niki Adkins and her team were 1st rate with clear advice, guidance and fair transparent pricing. It was a pleasure to use them and I also received super positive feedback from the other people involved in the purchase.

Excellent Service

we used Frettens after not such a good service from our previous solicitors and were not disappointed. Frettens are professional, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Matthew explained everything to us before and during making our wills and processing LPOAs for us, which made the whole process so much easier - Thank you Matthew.

I am so grateful to Ben Cobb at Frettens Solicitors for his expert guidance and professionalism dealing with our recent commercial property sale. He covered everything very promptly and attentively. Moreover, he answered questions and replied to emails almost instantly, which was greatly reassuring. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a commercial solicitor.

Absolutely first class. From my initial enquiry, they responded very fast and the level of service from all of the staff that assisted me at different stages, I cannot give enough praise. I am currently overseas and needed to do all business online. Frettens were able to help me, when other firms did not want to know. Highly recommended, and extremely fairly priced.
