About us

Results for our clients, success for our people.

Weightmans is a Top 60 law firm with offices in Birmingham, Leicester, Liverpool, London and Manchester.  We are growing rapidly because of our focus on two key aspects of our business: our clients and our people.

Our people are determined to achieve the best result for our clients.  We do not make any assumptions about what that means.  We measure and monitor results. We want to make sure that our clients come back time and time again, that we are the preferred choice of legal service providers.

Superb client service comes from a happy and well-motivated workforce.  We recognise the importance of our people enjoying what they do in a friendly and inspiring working environment.  It is vital for our future development that our people have fulfilling careers, improve themselves and share rewards.

Our practice is structured along three business lines.

We have a formidable reputation and heritage in insurance in which we are a leading national player.  We handle all sizes of claims for insurers and their clients across a broad range of disciplines and in all offices.

We have a growing reputation in the public sector market, acting for many local, police and fire authorities, and many NHS trusts.

The outlook of the practice is evolving. Once we were thought of as only a litigation practice . That side of the practice is still very much a substantial part of and fundamental to the business, but we now also have a commercial business line which accounts for over 20% of our turnover. We offer a substantial and diverse range of commercial services to public sector bodies, large institutions, owner managed businesses and PLCs.

We aim to be the law firm of choice and the employer of choice.  We want to do excellent work for clients who want an open and honest commercial relationship and enjoy doing business with us.
