Job description

Social Network Login/Join

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. 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 Thames Valley, Bristol, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Exeter, Weybridge, Sheffield, and Teesside, makes us a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our 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 business outside London.

Our business model and culture set us apart from many legal services businesses, enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional environment.

Opportunity: Dispute Resolution/Property Litigation Team

We are looking to expand our team based in Stoke. The team handles a variety of work including fraud, professional negligence, insolvency, and shareholder disputes. Clients range from small practices to leading real estate developers and retail/leisure brands. This is a great opportunity to grow your legal career alongside talented lawyers and high-quality work.

Person Specification

• Ability to manage a high volume of work and prioritize effectively.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
• Proactive with a willingness to take responsibility.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including letter writing.
• High professionalism and commitment to delivering excellent client service in line with our values.
• Ability to use audio dictation and type from audio recordings.
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel, especially document formatting and spreadsheet preparation.

We offer a unique environment where you will be part of a team culture that promotes responsibility and aims to deliver the best possible service in a collaborative setting.
