Weightmans’ family team is again featured in eprivateclient’s annual Top Family Law Firms 2026 list – a roster of the leading firms providing family law advice in the UK. 

The annual list surveys over 100 family law firms nationwide. Rankings are based on data received on areas such as number of partners, number of fee earners, total number of staff, total fee income and fee income as a percentage of firm total income.

Weightmans’ national team of family law solicitors support clients with family disputes and complex divorces to find solutions led outcomes using constructive communication and effective strategies. Its experts are located in both England and Wales, and Scotland, and regularly advise in international cases including cross-border family cases spanning both jurisdictions. The Glasgow team has recently welcomed Caroline Smith, who is an accomplished and experienced mediator, and expert in the fast-growing area of fertility and surrogacy matters.

Emma Collins, Partner and Head of Individual Services, said:

“Once again, our national family team is recognised as one of the leading practices in the country. As a team, we are growing, attracting the best people in the sector, and delivering incredible results for our clients. This survey rightly confirms our position amongst our peers, and I congratulate the team for all they continue to achieve.”

It follows other recent recognition in Legal 500 for the firm’s highly regarded family team across the regions including many Tier 1 and recommended lawyers further demonstrating the team’s depth of talent and expertise; and the naming of Emma Collins, Carole Atkinson and Carina Smith as Recommended Family Lawyers in the Spear’s Family Law Indices 2026.
