Knights has always done things differently; in 2012, we were the first organisation of our type in the UK legal sector to attract private equity investment, enabling us to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management / ownership and fee earners.
The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and since our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth.
With over 1500 colleagues across 32 locations and our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high-quality recent acquisitions means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets. We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services business outside London.
Our business model and culture remain a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional services business. The Group's strong position in its markets, increased scale, national reputation, differentiated model and unique culture is enabling us to attract high quality talent.
We now have a fantastic opportunity working within our excellent Real Estate team based out of our Cheltenham office. Some of the duties are listed below and it is a great opportunity to further your legal career.
The Opportunity:
* Supporting fee earners in the Real Estate Team.
* Liaising with clients and third parties to progress transactions.
* Assisting with the drafting of legal documents.
Person Specification:
* Ability to manage a high volume of work and prioritise accordingly.
* Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
* Demonstrates initiative and has a pro-active attitude.
* Willingness to take on responsibility.
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
* Demonstrates a high level of professionalism and commitment to the delivery of excellent client service; and
* Good knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel (especially the formatting of word documents and preparation of spreadsheets).
We offer a unique environment; you will be part of a one team culture that promotes direct responsibility with an expectation to always deliver the best service possible for clients within a collegiate, team-based environment.
Most excitingly of all, you can help change the way we all think about and deliver the future of legal and professional services in a friendly, caring business, with little (if any) hierarchy. Our culture of positivity and transparency, provides a great platform for the right people to take their careers to the next level.
