Nantes Solicitors is proud to have won the Community Service Award at the Weymouth Business Awards, recognising the firm’s positive contribution to local life beyond its day-to-day legal work.

The award was presented as part of the Weymouth Business Awards, which celebrate businesses making a meaningful difference in Weymouth and the surrounding area. For Nantes, the recognition is especially valued because the firm has long believed that a local legal practice should play an active part in the communities it serves.

With offices in Weymouth, Portland, Bridport and Dorchester, Nantes is proud to work closely with individuals, families, businesses and organisations across Dorset.

Recognised at the Weymouth Business Awards

Nantes was named winner of the Community Service Award at the Weymouth Business Awards, a category that highlights the contribution businesses make outside their usual commercial work.

The award is particularly meaningful because Nantes’ Weymouth office forms an important part of the firm’s wider presence across Dorset. The team regularly supports clients and local organisations in and around Weymouth, while also contributing to community life across the county through its other offices.

For Nantes, this recognition is not only about the award itself. It is also a reminder of the importance of showing up consistently for local people, whether through trusted legal advice, practical support, sponsorship, fundraising or participation in community events.

A Proud Moment for the Nantes Team

Speaking after the award win, Bethany Manning, Practice Manager at Nantes Solicitors, said:

“This award reflects the dedication of our entire team, whose commitment extends far beyond legal services. We are incredibly proud to receive this award, and it is a privilege to be trusted by, and give back to, the people and businesses we serve every day.”

The award is a proud moment for everyone at Nantes. It reflects the effort of colleagues across the firm, many of whom give their time, energy and support to the local groups, events and causes that matter to the communities around them.

Supporting Local People Beyond Legal Services

Nantes has served Dorset for many years, providing legal advice to individuals, families and businesses across the county.

That local connection means the firm sees first-hand how important community organisations are. Schools, youth clubs, sports teams, charities, arts groups, local events and voluntary organisations all help create stronger, more connected places to live and work.

Nantes is proud to support a wide range of these organisations across Weymouth, Portland, Bridport, Dorchester and the surrounding area. From grassroots sport and cultural events to school fundraising and local business initiatives, the firm’s community involvement reflects a simple belief: strong communities benefit everyone.

A Responsible Local Business

Nantes’ community work is also supported by its wider approach to corporate social responsibility.

The firm is committed to acting responsibly as a business, supporting worthwhile local causes, reducing environmental impact, providing safe and rewarding local employment and regularly reviewing how it can continue to make a positive contribution.

This approach helps ensure community support is not treated as a one-off gesture. Instead, it forms part of the firm’s broader values and its long-term commitment to the people and places it serves.

Thank You to the Local Community

Nantes would like to thank the Weymouth Business Awards organisers, judges and everyone involved in celebrating local businesses across the area.

Most importantly, the firm would like to thank the people, clients, organisations and businesses that continue to place their trust in Nantes.

Winning the Community Service Award is a valued recognition, but the firm’s commitment remains the same: to continue supporting the communities it is proud to serve.
