The UK’s largest regional legal services business, Knights, has revealed plans for a new Grade A office in Bristol.

The EQ Building is Bristol’s landmark new development on Victoria Street with new facilities and technology. With capacity for around 60 people, Knights’ move to the heart of the city, represents a significant investment in its Bristol team.

Knights has grown significantly over recent years across the south-west with professionals working collaboratively across offices in Cheltenham, Bristol and Exeter as part of a wider national team of 1,200 professionals in 23 locations.

The move will provide Knights with a solid platform for further growth in Bristol. Since arriving in the city last year, Knights has added several new Partners to its team including specialists in construction, intellectual property and business immigration with more ambitious recruits already set to join the team.

Being based in centre of the business quarter will provide clients with even better access to the comprehensive range of support it has to offer as the largest regional legal services business in the UK.

The move is the latest step in series of property moves for Knights across the country as part of its creation of a modern, first-class and carefully considered property portfolio from which to deliver its premium professional services and to support its thriving team.

James Christacos, Client Services Director at Knights, said: “Moving to EQ is a significant development for our team in Bristol. This new location makes us more accessible bringing our people closer to clients in the heart of the city.

“It marks our continuous investment in our people as we grow across Bristol and the South West and provides us with a strong base from which to deliver our comprehensive range of business and private wealth services as we continue to attract the best and most ambitious professionals.”

Knights is set to move to EQ in September 2024.
