Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year from everyone at Weightmans. We are proud of our environmental, social, and governance program and have engaged in fundraising and community activities this year. In line with this commitment, we will not send corporate Christmas cards but instead make a charitable donation. This year, we are supporting Marie Curie, which provides hospice care and advocates for better end-of-life services. Many people, especially from disadvantaged communities, lack the care they need. Marie Curie aims to address this gap by driving research, influencing policy, and campaigning for improved services. Note: Our offices will be open on December 23, 24, 30, and 31, and closed until January 2, 2025. Wishing you a safe and peaceful festive season.
