Watson Burton LLP

At Weightmans, when you succeed, we celebrate. It's why we do what we do.

We're a top 45 UK law firm, with over 1300 people working from our offices in Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Newcastle.

What makes us different is our people. Our people are determined to achieve the best results for our clients. How we get there varies from organisation to organisation, person to person. No assumptions, no one-size-fits-all approach. We measure and monitor results to ensure that we are the preferred legal service provider for our clients.

We also recognise the importance of our people enjoying what they do, providing a friendly and inspiring working environment in all our offices. This is acknowledged with us being awarded the Top Employer accolade for the thirteenth year running!

We are a law firm with a long and proud heritage. Founded in 1827, we've grown from our Liverpool roots to become a leading national law firm. As a progressive firm, we're committed to our clients and our people, as well as constantly looking at ways of improving the service we provide.

Our Newcastle office is situated in St James Gate in the heart of Newcastle City Centre and in close proximity to Newcastle Train Station. We opened our Newcastle office in October 2019 through the acquisition of the business and assets Watson Burton, a firm that can trace its roots in Newcastle back to 1811. Many of our solicitors in Newcastle are recognised by the leading legal directories as being leaders in their fields.
