Great Service

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.

Employment

Employment Law

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.

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.

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.
