Marine team announces two new recruits

Weightmans LLP continues to grow its marine practice with the recruitment of Stuart Kempson and Andrew Glynn-Williams.

Stuart has over 20 years' experience in the P&I sector, including as an in-house lawyer with Charles Taylor and Co. Before qualifying as a solicitor in 2006, Andrew was at sea for 10 years with Stena Line. He joined as a cadet and progressed to the rank of chief mate on deep sea tankers and fast ferries. They join Weightmans from Hill Dickinson.

Phil James, head of Weightmans’ marine team says: “I am thrilled to welcome Stuart and Andrew to our marine team. Their recruitment is another demonstration of Weightmans’ commitment to and investment in the marine sector. The support and encouragement we have received from our client base has demonstrated that marine is a growth area for the firm and has enabled us to invest in recruiting talented and experienced practitioners such as Stuart and Andrew. Our marine clients want a firm that can offer stability and expertise, at the right price. Stuart and Andrew complement and enhance our offering in all of those areas.”
