The UK’s regional professional services business, Knights, has moved into its new first-class office space in Reading’s most iconic building, The Blade.
The Reading team has relocated from the thirteenth floor to the twelfth floor of The Blade, doubling the capacity of the office space to almost 100 people and providing panoramic views of the town and the neighbouring countryside.
Complete with a state-of-the-art working environment and technology and excellent conferencing facilities, the new office space provides Knights with a strong foundation for rapid growth in the Thames Valley having arrived in the region in April 2025 through the acquisition of IBB Law.
Since then, the business has further expanded across the South with acquisitions in Essex, the South East and a new office in Cardiff – Knights’ first outside of England - further strengthening its unrivalled regional presence. The Reading office has also welcomed 11 talented professionals to the team including partners across Dispute Resolution, Private Client, Family and Regulatory.
With more than 250 professionals providing premium legal advice to businesses and individuals across its offices in the Thames Valley, Knights has an unrivalled regional presence in the region.
The new state-of-the-art office space in Reading will give clients even better access to the unrivalled range of services Knights offers nationwide.
James Christacos, Regional Client Services Director at Knights, said: “It’s fantastic to have moved into this new and improved office having outgrown our previous space. It’s a clear signal of intent for our team in Reading that shows the scale of our ambition regionally and nationally.
“The Blade undoubtedly reflects our premium standards and experience we want every colleague and client to feel, and this new office space definitely provides an environment that matches the quality of service we offer.
“The Reading office is a key link between our teams across the South East and South West, with these regions working in tandem to deliver our exceptional range of expertise.
“We are growing in the Thames Valley, as we are across the UK, and this move will provide a strong base from which to deliver our comprehensive range of business and private client services – and to continue to attract the best and most ambitious professionals.”
The move to the twelfth floor of The Blade is the latest in a series of property moves for Knights across the country as part of its investment in a modern, first-class and carefully considered property portfolio from which to deliver premium professional services and support its thriving team.
