Listed legal and professional services business Knights has agreed a deal to acquire a historic independent law firm in Bristol for an undisclosed sum. Meade King, on Welsh Back, serves the South West region and can trace its origins to 1790.
It is Knights' first foray into Bristol and the new office will add 29 fee earners to the firm, which has some 1,500 staff across the country. The company has 23 UK sites including in Exeter and Cheltenham.
“It not only provides us with an entry point into Bristol but it gives us a platform from which to pursue further expansion in the city through both recruitment and additional acquisition opportunities," said James Christacos, Knights’ client services director.
