From arranging our first meeting to the final signing of a complex issue (to me anyway) I was kept informed all the way, Bryony Spicer was great and put me at ease throughout.

I instructed this firm in relation to a highly sensitive employment matter. From beginning to end it was handled with professionalism, empathy and with clear advice during what was an extremely difficult time. Michelle took the time to explain complex legal aspects to ensure I understood and supported me throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing employment law advice.

Hi Mark, thank you for leaving us a positive review. We hope to work closely with you again in the future!
Frettons were amazing. Looking after my Family during a tricky process with the sale of our business. Zoe and Paul and all the Team looked after us and advised us with professional care and attention. Thank you.
Hi Andrew, thank you for your lovely feedback about our team- we will pass this onto them. We look forward to working with you again soon!
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.
Hello Krish, thank you so much for your positive review and kind words about our team. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
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.

Hi Declan, thank you for your kind words about our team, we really appreciate it! We look forward to working closely with you again very soon! :)
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.

Professional service. Shelley had to deal with two siblings and me, and sometimes one of us was abroad.
