Knights, the UK’s regional legal and professional services business, has strengthened its Private Client team in Reading with the appointment of Alexander Morgan as a Partner.
A Private Client expert with specialist interest in estate planning, trust creation and complex estate administration, Alexander brings more than 13 years of experience to the Knights’ Reading office at The Blade.
A full member of STEP, Alexander is experienced in complex will preparation and estate planning and often works with high-net-worth individuals, advising on the creation and administration of English trust structures and administering complex estates including those with cross-border elements in Europe and around the world.
Alexander’s appointment comes during a period of rapid growth for Knights’ Reading office. Dispute Resolution Partner, Peter Sheppard, recently joined the team who will soon be moving from their current office, which spans half of the 13th floor, to take over the entire 12th floor of the iconic Blade building.
Alexander Morgan, Partner at Knights, said: “It’s an extremely exciting time to have joined Knights, who are the standout regional professional services firm nationally.
“The firm’s unique one team approach and national scale, combined with its strong local presence across the Thames Valley region, provides a brilliant platform to deliver excellent service for clients. I am already seeing the benefit of working as part of such a talented team.”
James Christacos, Client Services Director at Knights, added: “Alexander is a talented lawyer who is a fantastic addition to not only our Private Client team nationally, but also our growing regional presence in the Thames Valley.
“I’m delighted to have Alexander onboard with yet more talented professionals set to join us as we look to deliver on our ambitious plans for growth."
With 1,350 professionals working collaboratively across 32 offices nationwide, Knights is ranked within the top 50 UK law firms by revenue, providing multiple services to business clients alongside premium advisory services to private individuals.
