About Forshaws Davies Ridgway

Experienced solicitors with a refreshing approach

Whether you are used to dealing with a law firm or need assistance for the first time, you are guaranteed outstanding service from FDR.

We are a full service, customer-focused legal practice based in Warrington with offices in Stockton Heath and Frodsham and over 130 staff serving corporate and private clients, throughout England and Wales. This means we have the skills and flexibility cope with every legal eventuality – offering you the right combination of knowledge, experience and resources.

Jargon-free legal advice

We take the jargon out of legal advice – so you can easily understand the advice we are giving.

Everything FDR does is focused on providing an outstanding client service at excellent value. We are 100% confident you will find that we have the right mix of talented people to help you – that’s a promise.

Foundations built over hundreds of years

If you’re looking for experience, you’ll be interested to know that the origins of FDR date back to 1750 – to put it into perspective, that’s before Captain Cook’s set sail. It means the 21st century service we provide today is built on solid foundations, continuously adapting to a changing world.

Our traditional values based around personal service combine perfectly with the technologically driven, forward thinking spirit of the modern day FDR to deliver outstanding client service and results.

How we work

You want to be sure you are getting the very best advice. That’s why at FDR our Partners are directly involved with your case. Each of our different services is led by a Partner of the practice and handled by specialist lawyers. This means highly skilled professionals are at the forefront of everything we do for you – and our legal experts are easily accessible at all times.

Surpassing client expectations is top of our list and this underpins our approachable, knowledgeable, forward-thinking and results-driven service. You may not need us on hand all the time – but once we’ve helped you, we’re sure you’ll use us again when the need arises. And we know our clients recommend us to others, because of the results we deliver.

Our clients get the best of both worlds. They have access to a large law firm with extensive resources and expertise and the sort of personal service you’d usually only expect from a small legal practice.

The best possible advice – at all times

Our Lexcel accreditation assures you that we are giving you the best advice. This is the Law Society’s nationally-recognised practice management standard which is only awarded to solicitors who meet the highest management and customer care standards. Lexcel accredited practices undergo rigorous independent assessment every year to ensure they meet the required high standards of excellence.

So whatever assistance you need – from conveyancing to equine law, neighbour disputes to child maintenance claims – FDR is the only law firm you will need.
