Frodshams Solicitors

Frodshams Solicitors: legal services rooted in North West England

Frodshams Solicitors is a law firm that has been established for over 100 years, originally as a family-run practice. It operates as a Limited Liability Partnership registered in England & Wales and is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The firm describes itself as having a base in the North West but with team members located across the UK, and it offers home or virtual appointments on request.

The practice presents a personal approach to legal work, stating that it takes time to listen and understand each client's needs. Its stated values of care and legal excellence are presented as continuing from its origins as a family firm.

Family law and children

Family law is one of the firm's core areas. The services listed under this heading include pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, divorce and separation, clean break consent orders, mediation, financial settlement, domestic abuse, separation agreements, co-habitation agreements and co-habitation disputes. It also covers change of name, child law and grandparents' rights.

The firm runs a free family law advice clinic, advertised on its website, and offers an initial free consultation by phone for a confidential discussion.

Private client: wills, probate and estate planning

Under private client work, Frodshams lists wills and tax planning, powers of attorney, probate, trusts and Court of Protection matters. The website explains that where someone has lost the ability to understand the nature and effect of their instructions, the Court of Protection can appoint a deputy to manage their affairs. Where a person needs help managing their own affairs but can make an informed decision, they may make a power of attorney.

The firm also addresses the situation of someone dying, offering guidance through that process.

Conveyancing

Conveyancing is another service area, supported by an online estimate tool on the website. The firm presents this work as helping clients on the property ladder, from buying a first home to later transactions.

Offices and contact

Frodshams has its head office in Newton-le-Willows and additional offices in Wigan and Warrington. The firm can be contacted by telephone, email or through a form on its website, and it offers a call-back service.

Leadership and history

Amanda Woods is identified as Senior Partner. The firm traces its establishment to 1910 and describes itself as a dynamic and growing practice with a fresh, contemporary outlook, while maintaining a personal, human connection and embracing technology and training.
