Highest ever rankings for Weightmans in Legal 500

Law firm Weightmans has achieved its highest ever rankings in the latest edition of The Legal 500.

The national firm has been ranked in a record breaking 50 areas of law and has improved its ranking in 23 categories.  Weightmans has also secured eight top tier rankings.

The improved rankings reflect the giant strides Weightmans has made over the last twelve months.

During the course of the year, the firm merged with North West firm Mace & Jones and acquired the insurance division of Vizards Wyeth.

In a challenging economic climate, financial performance has been equally impressive, with Weightmans recording record turnover. The firm has also been recognised as one of Britain’s top employers in an annual assessment by the Corporate Research Foundation (CRF) Institute. 

Commenting on the firm’s rankings, Managing Partner Patrick Gaul said:

“The firm has made significant progress over the last twelve months, with all our offices and practice areas playing their part.

 “Superb client service is at the heart of everything we do and we are delighted this has been recognised by The Legal 500.”

Published for over twenty years, the Legal 500 is widely regarded as offering the definitive judgement of law firm capabilities.
