Professional services firm expands South East presence with £5.3m acquisition
A professional services firm with offices across the UK has expanded its presence in the South East through a new acquisition.
Knights has today announced that it has agreed to acquire independent South East-based law firm Mundays LLP in a £5.3m deal.
The acquisition aims to increase the firm’s footprint in the South East, following its entry to the region in March 2020.
David Beech, CEO of Knights, commented: “We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Mundays, a well-regarded full-service independent law firm.
“Having met a considerable number of their team, we can see that Mundays will have a strong cultural fit with Knights. It brings a high-quality team of lawyers, for whom Knights offers broader opportunities within a larger, more diversified business.
“The acquisition of Mundays further builds our position in the South East, providing a strong platform from which to recruit talented lawyers that no longer wish to commute into London, as we continue to grow our national presence.”
Neale Andrews, managing partner of Mundays LLP, added: “We are delighted to join Knights, who’s reputation for high quality service combined with a modern approach to legal services resonates well with our ambitious team and ethos.
“Having built a strong and diverse client base over recent years, we look forward to being part of a larger group with the resources to execute on ambitious growth plans, offering exciting career opportunities to our team.”
