Double figure increase in Weightmans turnover

Law firm Weightmans has announced record turnover of £50 million for the 2007/2008 financial year – a rise of 14% (£6.2 million) on last year.

Commenting on the result, Weightmans’ senior partner Ian Evans said:

“In a challenging market, we are very satisfied to record double digit growth for the financial year.

“At a time where both competition and the markets in which we operate are tough this is a hugely positive result.”

Added Patrick Gaul, managing partner at Weightmans:

“We are pleased with the performance of all our offices and practice areas. All practice areas across our three business lines - commercial, public sector and insurance – are in good shape. 

“This strong performance has been fuelled by our own talent and a number of new recruits, all of whom have helped to our client base.

“Weightmans is committed to an ongoing investment programme on a national level, we have moved to a brand new office in the centre of London and later in the year our Manchester office will move to Piccadilly Place”.
