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 traditional outlook of the practice
is changing. Whereas once we were predominantly a
litigation practice, we now also have a substantial commercial
business line which accounts for over 20% of our
turnover. We offer a substantial and diverse range of
services including a national employment team and commercial
and property teams who act for many public sector bodies, 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.
