Frettens Solicitors has welcomed experienced partner Rosie Sharp to its family team.

Previously head of department at one of the largest firms on the South Coast, Rosie specialises in all areas of private family law, from divorce and children matters to large scale financial dealings.

She’s notably acted in settlements involving businesses, complex assets, estates, farms and trusts.

“I’m delighted to be joining Frettens, which is such a forward thinking and dynamic firm,” said Rosie.

“The family team and wider firm have been so welcoming and have a great energy.

“I’ve been able to hit the ground running and am looking forward to working with Andy and Simon and the rest of the team to continue to build the family offering.

“Frettens has some exciting plans for this year and beyond and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”

Rosie is also a treasurer at Resolution Dorset and a trustee at the Family Counselling Trust.

She’s Frettens’ third big family law hire in the last two years as the firm looks to build one of the largest departments in the conurbation.

Managing partner Matthew Fretten added: “We’re absolutely thrilled to kick off the year with such a big addition and welcome Rosie to the firm.

“Rosie is not only a brilliant lawyer with an impressive history in family law, but a fantastic fit at Frettens, bringing a fresh perspective.

“We are overjoyed to have her with us.”
