Regional PR Manager

Knights
GB - Leeds
January 14, 2025

Knights has always done things differently.
In 2012, we became the first UK legal sector organisation to secure private equity investment, shifting from a traditional partnership to a corporate structure and clearly separating management from fee earners.

Our model's success led to significant growth over six years, and since our AIM market listing in June 2018, we've seen consistent increases in turnover and profits.

With around 1,500 colleagues across 26 locations, our strong organic growth combined with quality acquisitions, we've strengthened our position in key markets.
We're equipped to execute our growth strategy and aim to be the leading legal and professional services firm outside London.

Our distinctive business model and culture help us attract professionals who prefer a modern approach.
