Knights is a fast-growing, legal and professional services business, ranked within the UK top 100 largest law firms by revenue. Knights has specialists in all of the key areas of corporate and commercial law so that it can offer end-to-end support to businesses of all sizes and in all sectors. The Company’s main focus is on the UK’s secondary markets, offering ‘big city’ quality expertise from a cost base outside London. Currently, Knights operates from 22 office locations located in Birmingham, Brighton, Cheltenham, Chester, Crawley, Exeter, Kings Hill, Leeds, Leicester, Lincoln, Manchester, Newbury, Nottingham, Oxford, Portsmouth, Sheffield, Southampton, Stoke, Teesside, Weybridge, Wilmslow and York.
Knights was one of the first law firms in the UK to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure in 2012 and it is this clear separation between management/ownership and partners that the Directors believe has been the key contributor to the Group’s profitable growth in recent years, and which makes the Group well positioned to compete with and disrupt the independent regional firms which are ranked beneath the top 50 largest UK law firms.
Knights Group Holdings plc is incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 and registered in England and Wales with registered number 11290101. Its main country of operation is the United Kingdom.
The Company is subject to the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
