Weightmans has enjoyed another good 12 months. 2009-10 revenue rose by 7.1% to £56.1m, with the firm set to break the £60m mark this year after exceeding recent quarterly billing targets. That would represent a fourth year of consecutive growth – a pattern which owes much to Weightmans’ nationally-recognised insurance and litigation teams.

“Although fee rates have become more competitive since the onset of the recession, workflows in our key areas have been steady,” comments managing partner Patrick Gaul.
