“[Weightmans] are very accessible and offer great customer service” and “[the team] is very knowledgeable and has great expertise”

Members of the team have been described as enjoying 'enormous respect' among commentators as specialists in contentious partnership issues and as being “robust” when needed, but also “sensible and good in negotiations”. (Chambers UK)

We provide contentious and non-contentious advice and services including drafting partnership and LLP agreements, dealing with outgoing partners and team moves, mergers and dissolutions, partnership disputes, mediation, arbitration, court proceedings and regulatory issues relating to professional partnerships. We have particular expertise in solicitors and doctors partnerships.
