Understood my issue/situation, and worked quickly to address it.
My case was messy and unusual. The contract Frettens had drafted at the outset afforded me accountability and recourse in law.

Real humans with legal expertise
I have instructed Karen at Frettens several times and have received outstanding service each time. This is a very busy person within a very busy department, but each time I have had huge amounts of contact, emails and advise within timescales I would not have expected. They are committed to getting their client where they need/want to be. The advice leaves me feeling like I am in control and well informed so able to make the right decision for my business. The advice is also personnel, detailed and feels full of quality. They have acted in both purchases and sales of business for me and will continue to as we look to build our business.

I cannot recommend Karen and her team highly enough. I felt cared for and was fully informed throughout for a long winded and tricky sale. Exceptional Service.

Thank you
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for your guidance through the process of our company restructure. It took a little longer to complete than we perhaps all anticipated, unfortunately there were many distractions at our end, which I won’t bore you with the detail. Your patience throughout was very much appreciated and went a long way to elevating some of the burden put on my shoulders.

Support from start to finish
My dealings with Karen Edwards on my recent business sale were exemplary. Karen acted with complete integrity and professionalism throughout the whole process from our very first communication through to completion. Karen gave me all the understanding, guidance and support I needed from start to finish to help me through what was initially a very difficult and daunting prospect for me after being with the company for some 30 years and having owned it for the last 13 years. I wouldn’t hesitate to instruct Karen again.

Made very straightforward
We used Karen to facilitate the selling of some of our company shares. As it was unknown territory for us, Karen made the process very straightforward. She explained every step in a very clear, easy to understand language. She totally understood what we were trying to achieve and kept us informed at all times. I would certainly use Karen in the future if the situation arises.
