Anniversary Celebrations


On Monday, we at QualitySolicitors FDC Law were celebrating 10 years since Faulkners and Daniel & Crutwell merged in 2002, to add another chapter to our 320 year history by forming FDC Law.

Partners and staff in all four offices celebrated with cake and pink bubbly, and are looking forward to the next 10 years.

Happy Anniversary!

QualitySolicitors FDC Law invite you to celebrate with us.


This month QualitySolicitors FDC Law will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary. All clients who instruct us in December 2012 will automatically be placed into a draw with ten lucky winners receiving a bottle of pink bubbly to mark this special occasion.

FDC Law is incredibly proud that it can trace its heritage back to 1692 when Mr James Wickham opened up the Daniel & Cruttwell side at Frome. In 1904 Mr Henry Faulkner opened the office that became Faulkners moving into Midsomer Norton in 1936.

On the 19th November 2002 Daniel and Cruttwell merged with Faulkners to form FDC Law. Since then we have joined national brand QualitySolicitors becoming QualitySolicitors FDC Law earlier this year. This alliance gives FDC Law an unrivalled network from which to serve our clients on a national basis if required while maintaining the hands on approach we hold so dear.

James Hollis, Senior Partner says “We are an independent high street practice. We believe people value being able to talk to a real person on the high street. These days there is a strong focus on call centre based national brands, but the sort of service they can provide is far from the level of hands-on service we offer. We hope local people will value the service we provide so we can be here serving the community for the next 300 years.”
