Our strengths

A leading national player in its client markets, Weightmans’ roots date back to the early 19th century. With 146 specialisms recognised and 453 experts listed in key legal directories, the firm offers a full spectrum of services to built environment enterprises, large corporate institutions, health organisations, insurance companies, public sector bodies, owner managed businesses and individual private clients.

We're well-equipped to provide a full legal service to all of our clients and have the resources to deal with the most demanding legal needs, both at home and overseas. We are leading members of two international legal alliances that ensure we can provide the right contacts and advice for any assignment. We know, trust and are happy to recommend firms from these alliances to our clients. In addition, we have a further network of law firms who sit outside of these alliances who we have worked with over many years. In this way we are confident we can cater for our clients’ needs in any jurisdiction.

Our vision is to be a Top 30 law firm which sees the possibility for our people and our clients.
