Bright
We select the best and brightest professionals to work at Frettens.
Our team are not only experts in their field, but excellent communicators with a positive, can-do approach to helping clients.
Modern
We have been a leading firm in the area for over 40 years but have a thoroughly modern approach to law.
We invest heavily in IT, making life easier and more efficient for both our clients and our team.
We are flexible, and embraced flexible working long before the pandemic. Our team can work remotely, seamlessly. If you want to speak to your lawyer, you can pop into one of our offices, call us, email, or have a video conference.
We are constantly improving. Our partners and management team are constantly looking for ways to improve the service we offer our clients and the environment we provide for our team.
Accessible
We thoroughly believe that law should be accessible to all.
As a client, you will always have your lawyer's name, email, and direct contact number.
Your first meeting with us is always free. People shouldn’t be put off seeking legal advice for fear of being charged to be told they don’t have a case.
We use plain English. We don’t hide behind unnecessarily complex ‘legalese’.
We share knowledge and expertise. Tens of thousands of people read, watch and listen to our updates every month. We publish blogs, articles, reports and webinars on the subjects that matter to our clients, free of charge – take a look here.
Our Offices
Just like our team, our offices are bright, modern and accessible. If you are in Christchurch or Ringwood, we are conveniently located in the town centres. If you are from further afield, we are only a phone or video call away. Get in touch here.
What makes Frettens different?
Ian Girling from Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry, sat down with Managing partner, Matt Fretten, to talk about how the firm has grown, and what sets us apart.
Our history
Frettens was founded in 1978 by Ian Fretten as a sole practitioner in Christchurch, dealing with residential property, wills, probate and trusts. The firm grew steadily over the years, providing additional commercial services and establishing itself as a leading law firm in the town.
