Weightmans announces financial results

National law firm Weightmans has announced its financial results for the 21/22 financial year as it awards £1.5m in bonuses to its people.

Total income increased by 5% to £103.2m. Net profit increased by 25% from £9m to £11.3m in the 12-month period, after making the £1.5m bonus award.

Despite making a number further investments in the year including the acquisition of new technology tools such as Matterlabs, the firm’s net cash position remained positive and its balance sheet became even stronger.

It has been a year of significant organic growth in both the Litigation, Transactions and Advisory division and Claims division. Within those divisions, Corporate and commercial, real estate, casualty, healthcare, and litigation all recorded seven figure growth. A number of the firm’s key markets grew – 31% in Built Environment, 16% in Public Bodies, 9% in services to Owner Managed Business and 7% in services to Individuals.

The year saw a wave of new talent arrive at the firm as it was awarded Top Employer status for the fifteenth time. Twelve were welcomed to the Partnership from departments such as Family, Employment and Healthcare and the Finance team hailed its first partner promotion, in what was a record number ever promoted in one round.

The firm’s commitment to corporate responsibility was reinforced by the appointment of a dedicated ESG Manager in February, and technology continued to be a key focus as Director of Business Services Stuart Whittle was promoted to Chief Innovation and Technology Officer and Innovation Manager Catriona Wolfenden became Product and Innovation Director.

In January, the firm announced it was in merger negotiations with law firm RadcliffesLeBrasseur. The merger was finalised in June 2022 and the firms have combined under the Weightmans LLP name.

Weightmans Managing Partner John Schorah said:

“It has been a strong year for Weightmans, not just in terms of financial success but in the positive progress we have made towards our goals of being the most responsible business and best employer possible.

“The figures show that we have been able to recover from the impact of the covid pandemic, thanks to the hard work of our people and the support of our clients to whom we are incredibly grateful.

“The merger with RadcliffesLeBrasseur will contribute significantly to the depth and breadth of services we offer to clients across the UK and we are excited by what we can achieve together in the coming months.

“The firm’s footprint and presence has strengthened nationally, we now have a very significant presence in London and in all our client markets we are major players.

“We remain ambitious and focused on the future as we continue to innovate, diversify and invest in our people and processes to ensure we are delivering market leading insight and the high standard of service we are known for.”

  41. This design is spectacular! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  136. In the great design of things you secure a B- just for hard work. Where you lost everybody ended up being in all the specifics. You know, as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be more accurate at this point. Having said that, permit me reveal to you just what did work. The article (parts of it) is certainly quite persuasive and that is most likely the reason why I am taking an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, even though I can certainly see the leaps in reasoning you make, I am not really certain of how you appear to unite your details that produce the final result. For right now I will subscribe to your point however wish in the future you link the dots much better.

  159. No products in the cart. Liquid and gel liners are better for precision looks like the cat eye. Pro tip: plant your elbow on a flat surface and make sure your pinky is resting on your cheek for stabilization. Your Cart is Empty if you’re a beginner, map out your liner look using a shade in our midnight shadows eyeshadow palette and an angled brush first. then, go over the “template” you just made with our eyeliner marker to get the perfect line every time. BuyMeBeauty receives products from manufacturers in various packaging. Packaging may vary per product. Some products may come in their unsealed retail packaging but they have not been opened.For more information please visit our Terms & Conditions. for better control, hold your eyeliner marker horizontally near the end rather than the base to get a more precise line.

    Saffron has been used since ancient times to maintain clear and naturally glowing skin (20). Its antioxidants keep the skin healthy, and it also protects the skin from sun damage (21). Shifts in consumer preferences are responsible for a growing inclination toward organic and affordable skin and hair beauty products. Owing to the influence of social media, most consumers are better aware of the adverse effects of different synthetic ingredients used in beauty and cosmetic products. Getting clear and healthy skin doesn’t have to be a headache. If you’re sick of chemicals and toxins, our home remedies for clear skin will help you achieve the complexion you’ve been dreaming of. From lemon juice to tea and aloe vera gel, there’s a reason why these natural ingredients are staples of the skincare industry.
