Nottingham office launched and key partner hires announced

Weightmans has launched a new office in Nottingham, reinforcing its commitment to regional growth and expanding its footprint across the Midlands. The move supports the firm’s strategic focus on sectors such as health, public bodies, owner-managed businesses and private clients.

Joining the new office are corporate partners Freya Summers and Mallory Coxe, both formerly of Wright Hassall. Recognised for their expertise in corporate law, their arrival marks a significant step in Weightmans’ ambition to grow its corporate offering both regionally and nationally.

The Nottingham office will be led by equity partner Jane Price, who takes on the role of regional office head. She said: ‘It’s an honour to personally welcome Mallory and Freya to the firm… together, we’re committed to delivering the highest standard of client service and playing a pivotal role in Weightmans’ continued growth across the Midlands.’

Managing partner Sarah Walton added: ‘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 to a broader audience.’
