Harneys advises WeShop on groundbreaking Nasdaq listing under ticker WSHP
WeShop is a social-commerce platform that enables users to shop, share product recommendations, and earn rewards through its ShareBack™ program, under which “WePoints” accumulated from purchases and referrals can be converted into equity in WeShop itself, turning everyday shoppers into shareholders. The Company has now launched its US app, expanding on its UK platform, which includes partnerships with leading retailers such as John Lewis, eBay, Selfridges, ASOS, Expedia, British Airways, TEMU, and Shein. Across its UK pilot, WeShop facilitated more than US $140 million in gross merchandise value and now provides access to a catalogue of over one billion products.
The Harneys team was led by Partner and Global Head of Corporate George Weston with support from Counsel James Kitching, Senior Associate Priya Mattu, and Associate Reece De-Vaney.
George commented: “We are thrilled to have advised WeShop on their successful Nasdaq listing. This is a genuinely groundbreaking transaction and a company with a unique capital model. Being able to accommodate their requirements within a BVI listing vehicle highlights the advantages of our flexible corporate law and adds to the jurisdiction’s long track record as a home for some of the world’s most innovative companies. We look forward to working with them in the future on the next steps of an incredibly exciting journey”.
George Weston represented Harneys at the WeShop Nasdaq Stock Market Closing Bell ceremony on Thursday, 20 November 2025, where founder John Garner rang the Closing Bell to mark the company’s listing.
