Kym Gaisford Case Study

AuthorKym Gaisford

I really enjoy the variety of work that comes through the door, no two days are the same!

Buying a house is generally a happy time, so it’s always exciting to call a client to let them know they can go and collect the keys to their new property. My colleagues are so friendly and approachable always being around to offer advice or a drink after work. I make use of the flexible working Frettens offer, having a young daughter this allows me to find a balance between work and family.

My advice to someone applying for a position here is...

"Go for it as you won’t regret it! The team is great, they like to have fun and the options of working your way up are there if you want them."

What our staff say about us

I think everybody talks to everybody else, everybody is very friendly. The partners are very friendly they’re not tucked away in their ivory towers in their offices, everybody is very approachable and that’s what I like.
Catharine Snow, Operations Manager
We are quite a young partnership. We do think about our staff, we think they do have lives outside of Frettens and those lives are very busy, so we’ve tried to build into our working days some flexibility for a lot of people.
Oonagh McKinney, Commercial Property Partner
I have never experienced teamwork like here. Everybody has your back, including the senior partner.
Julia Gaunt, Conveyancing Executive
In terms of a work-life balance generally, it has been fantastic. I can spend more time with my daughter, doing things like school runs.
Anna Curtis, Dispute Resolution Associate
The main advantages of working at Frettens is that I'm not micromanaged and there is flexibility with a soft start time, flexi policy so you can start earlier or finish later as and when you require.
