Weightmans has once again been recognised in The Times Best Law Firms 2027 list, which identifies the 250 leading law firms in England and Wales, based on recommendations from lawyers.

The firm was specifically commended for its excellence in family law.

It marks Weightmans’ ninth consecutive appearance in the list and follows a year of significant growth of its national family practice, which includes the recent appointment of Caroline Smith and Colette Blackburn in the Glasgow and Liverpool offices respectively.

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

“Being recognised in The Times Best Law Firms 2027 for family law is the icing on the cake of what has been a strong year of growth for the practice. It is particularly meaningful because it is based on recommendations from our peers.

“I must congratulate our team of expert advisors who make this all possible. Their hard work, talent and passion for client excellence is second to none.”

Weightmans’ national team of family law solicitors support clients with family disputes and complex divorces to find solutions through constructive communication. 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.

This latest recognition is one in a growing list of accolades bestowed on the family practice this year, including:
