Knights targets Leicester growth with new offices

Legal services group Knights has completed its move to new offices in Leicester.

Colton Square has capacity for approximately 100 people and is located in the city's Business Quarter.

With revenues reaching £150m last year, Knights now has more that 500 professionals working collaboratively across the Midlands with offices in Birmingham, Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham, Solihull, Stoke and Worcester as part of a national team of more than 1,100 professionals in 26 locations.

Jessica Neyt, client services director at Knights, said: "This is an important moment for our team in Leicester and signals the start of the next phase of our growth as a business. This fantastic new office provides an environment to match the service our team offers.

"Colton Square gives our clients even better access to the comprehensive range of support we offer as the largest regional legal services business in the UK."

Knights said moving to Colton Square provides it with the foundation to focus on growing its Leicester team with the arrival last month of partner Waheeda Ali and associate Kate Herbert, who joined the residential property team alongside disputes lawyer Ruth Jewell, who joins as a senior associate.

"Our team and clients are at the heart of all that we do and this move ensures that our Leicester colleagues have the same outstanding quality workspace as the rest of our national team and it places us in the ideal location in the city to provide clients with a first-class service in a premium setting." said Jo Beech, group operations director.
