Weightmans expands presence in Midlands with Nottingham office

Weightmans is to open an office in Nottingham, saying the move is a step forward in its ambition to expand its market share across priority sectors such as Health and Public Bodies.

The firm has hired two partners, corporate lawyers Freya Summers and Mallory Coxe, who will be based in Nottingham. Both are ex-Wright Hassall partners.

Equity partner Jane Price will also be based in Nottingham and take on the role of Regional Office Head.

Weightmans said: “The Nottingham office will act as a strategic regional hub, complementing [our] established presence in Birmingham and Leicester. This expansion strengthens the firm’s geographical footprint across the Midlands, unlocks access to vibrant local talent pools, and reinforces the firm’s position as one of the region’s leading law firms.”

Sarah Walton, Managing Partner at Weightmans, said: “The opening of our Nottingham office marks a strategic investment that reinforces Weightmans’ long-term commitment to the Midlands. This expansion not only strengthens our geographical reach but also allows us to harness the energy and expertise of the region’s dynamic talent pool. It’s a proud milestone that brings our sector-leading capabilities and exceptional client service to a broader audience as we continue to build our brand, reputation, and influence across the UK.”

Jane Price, Equity Partner and Regional Office Head, added: “I am thrilled to take on the role of Regional Office Head for our new Nottingham office. It’s an honour to personally welcome Mallory and Freya to the firm - both are outstanding corporate lawyers with a strong reputation in the region. Together, we’re committed to delivering the highest standard of client service and playing a pivotal role in Weightmans’ continued growth across the Midlands.”
