The new office underlines the firm's commitment to growth, innovation and regional investment.
This strategic move is a step forward in Weightmans’ ambition to expand its market share across priority sectors — notably Health and Public Bodies, as well as services tailored to Owner Managed Businesses and Private Clients.
Alongside this development, Weightmans confirms the arrival of two highly respected Nottingham-based partners — corporate lawyers Freya Summers and Mallory Coxe. Both ex-Wright Hassall partners, Freya and Mallory are recognised experts in their field, and their addition marks a key step in the firm’s ambitions to expand its corporate practice in the Midlands and nationally.
The Nottingham office will act as a strategic regional hub, complementing Weightmans’ established presence in Birmingham and Leicester. This expansion strengthens the firm’s geographical footprint across the Midlands, unlocks access to vibrant local talent pools, and reinforces the firm’s position as one of the region’s leading law firms.
To lead this exciting new chapter, Equity Partner Jane Price will be based in Nottingham and take on the role of Regional Office Head. Jane will work closely with Freya and Mallory to establish and grow the office, driving forward Weightmans’ vision for exceptional client service and regional excellence.
Sarah Walton, Managing Partner, Weightmans, said:
“The opening of our Nottingham office marks a strategic investment that reinforces Weightmans’ long-term commitment to the Midlands. This expansion not only strengthens our geographical reach but also allows us to harness the energy and expertise of the region’s dynamic talent pool. It’s a proud milestone that brings our sector-leading capabilities and exceptional client service to a broader audience as we continue to build our brand, reputation, and influence across the UK.”
Jane Price, Equity Partner and Regional Office Head, added:
“I am thrilled to take on the role of Regional Office Head for our new Nottingham office. It’s an honour to personally welcome Mallory and Freya to the firm - both are outstanding corporate lawyers with a strong reputation in the region. Together, we’re committed to delivering the highest standard of client service and playing a pivotal role in Weightmans’ continued growth across the Midlands.”
Weightmans will be based at Cubo, Standard Court, in the heart of Nottingham, near Nottingham Castle, formerly home to the city’s General Hospital.
