About Us

Ian Fretten opened the firm's first office in Christchurch in 1978 and the firm has operated from the town ever since. Now with over ninety members of staff we occupy a large, prominent office in the heart of Christchurch offering a full range of private and commercial legal services for a broad range of clients both in the local area and nationally. Frettens Solicitors became a Limited Liability Partnership on 1st July 2006.

We are successfully bridging the gap between the small high street practice unable to offer a broad range of specialist legal advice and very large regional and City firms who primarily tailor their services to large corporate clients.

Our breadth of specialist knowledge and the friendly, common sense approach of our solicitors and other advisors is complemented by a close working relationship between Frettens' various practice areas.

It is this combination of partner-led teams, personal service and expertise that allows us to offer the broad range of services required by our clients.
