Knights - Real Estate Paralegal
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 1450 colleagues across 30 locations, our strong organic growth, combined with recent high-quality acquisitions in the Thames Valley, Bristol, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Exeter, Weybridge, Sheffield, and Teesside, has diversified our business and strengthened our position in key markets. We have the team and financial resources to deliver our growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services provider outside London.
Our business model and culture differentiate us from many legal services providers, enabling us to attract individuals who wish to work in a modern, professional environment.
