Weightmans is proud to announce that two of its leading private client lawyers, Jonathan Shankland and Richard Bate, have again been selected for inclusion in the highly respected Spear’s Tax & Trust Advisers Index.

This prestigious recognition underscores the firm’s position as a leading adviser to private clients, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) across the UK and internationally.

The Spear’s Tax & Trust Advisers Index is widely acknowledged as a trusted guide for UHNWIs and family offices seeking the best expertise in tax and trust matters. The Index highlights top advisers across key disciplines, including tax and trust barristers, trust structuring and offshore specialists, tax lawyers, contentious trust lawyers, probate and wills lawyers, as well as accountants and tax advisers.

Richard Bate leads the national Private Wealth team at Weightmans, while Jonathan Shankland heads the firm’s International Private Wealth offering. Their selection reflects their outstanding expertise, dedication to client service, and commitment to delivering solutions in complex tax and trust matters.

Emma Collins, Partner and Individuals Segment Head at Weightmans, commented:

“We are thrilled to be recognised in the Spear’s Tax & Trust Advisers Index as a leading adviser to private clients. This achievement is a testament to the exceptional expertise found within our team and the consistently high levels of client satisfaction we strive to deliver. It also aligns perfectly with our ambitious plans for further growth and reinforces our reputation for providing trusted, innovative advice to UHNWIs and family offices.”

This latest recognition of Jon and Richard comes in addition to the recommendation in Spears 500 of family lawyers, Emma Collins and Carole Atkinson, and highlights Weightmans’ ongoing commitment to excellence and its strategic focus on expanding its private client  practice.
