Alison Fielden opened the practice in Cirencester in 1986 and has run it ever since. Nearly forty years on, the firm advises the people and businesses of the Cotswolds on property, family, wills and probate, litigation and notary work, with one solicitor on your file from the first call to the last.
A general practice built for the Cotswolds: the move, the will, the family matter, the lease, the document for abroad. For anything not listed, phone 01285 653261 and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.
House moves, re-mortgages, leases
House buying and selling, re-mortgages, transfers of equity, business leases, commercial conveyancing and partnerships. Accredited under the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme, with one solicitor on your file from instruction to completion.
Divorce, finances, children
Divorce, the ancillary financial settlement, and arrangements for children. We are a Resolution family team, which means we work to resolve matters constructively rather than escalate them. A free family advice surgery runs on the first and third Saturday of the month.
Estates, LPAs, elderly clients
Wills, the administration of estates, and Lasting Powers of Attorney, with particular care taken over elderly-client matters. The same person who drafts your will is the person you speak to when it matters most.
Tribunals, settlements, documents for abroad
Settlement agreements, employment advice, representation at tribunals and general litigation including court. Alison Fielden is also a Notary Public, so documents for use overseas can be authenticated here rather than in a larger city.
Dollar Street runs up towards the Parish Church at the top of the old town, a row of Cotswold-stone houses a short walk from the Market Place. The Gatehouse has been our address through nearly four decades of moves, wills, and family matters for people across the Cotswolds.
First and third Saturday of the month, 10am to 12 noon. Drop in, no appointment, family advice only.
For other matters, phone 01285 653261 or email alison@alisonfielden.co.uk.
Alison Fielden & Co. was established in 1986 by Alison Fielden as a sole practitioner in Cirencester. The practice has grown steadily over the years on a personal approach and a loyal client base across the Cotswold area, and it still carries the founder's name above the door.
“We have had a no-smoking policy since we were established in 1986, twenty-one years ahead of the law in England.”
Alison Fielden, founder and principal
Alison Fielden practises as a Notary Public as well as a solicitor. That means documents intended for use overseas can be authenticated here, in town, rather than sending you to a notary in a larger city.
Phone 01285 653261 to check what to bring, as notarial work usually needs photo identification and the original documents.
Send a short note about the matter and we will come back to you, usually within one working day. For conveyancing we can give you a quote once we have the basics. Nothing you send here is a commitment.
Or phone 01285 653261, or email alison@alisonfielden.co.uk.
