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 in both turnover and profits.
With over 1600 colleagues across over 30 locations our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high quality recent acquisitions in Newcastle, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Kings Hill, Exeter, Weybridge and Sheffield 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 remains a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional services business.
