Weightmans

Weightmans LLP are a top 40 UK law firm with over 1700 people working from our offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham. We recruit annually for solicitor degree apprentices and paralegal apprentices in our English offices with applications opening each autumn.

We are a full-service defendant law firm representing everyone from FTSE-100 companies to family-owned businesses, and public sector organisations to individuals. With our depth of expertise and forward-thinking approach, we tackle any legal challenge with clarity and care.

For 18 consecutive years we are proud to have been certified as a top employer by the Top Employers Institute. We have achieved this status through our commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

We have also recently been ranked 15th in the Social Mobility Index in response to our efforts to widen access to the legal profession to those from underrepresented backgrounds.

Our Early Careers Team are dedicated to providing the best possible experience for our Apprentices and Trainee Solicitors, from the initial application stage, right through their respective programmes to qualification. Being a full-service law firm means we can also provide them with a good variety of experience in different areas of law where they will be working alongside some of the top lawyers in the country.

Weightmans believe in the power of people, innovation and partnership to provide strategic business insight and deep expertise to a range of private companies, public sector organisations and individuals.

At the heart of our culture and organisation is a simple purpose that informs everything we think, say and do: See the Possibility.

We believe thinking differently allows us to see the possibilities others don’t.
