Knights appoints client services director

Knights has appointed Leeds-based David Lister as client services director.

David brings more than 15 years’ legal experience, having previously held senior roles at Ward Hadaway and Irwin Mitchell, in Leeds. 

He also has experience building teams across 13 offices nationally as head of department.

In his new role, David will focus on fostering client relationships, promoting collaboration across Knights’ 32-office network and supporting regional growth through recruitment, acquisitions and productivity.

David said: “I’m excited to step into the role of client services director at Knights. 

“I’ve been interested in moving into a strategic role for a long time, but was waiting for the right opportunity.

“The firm’s ambition, commitment to high levels of service and premium proposition align perfectly with my own values. 

“Knights’ ‘One Team’ culture makes it unique. 

“Many law firms talk about it, but few have been able to make it work. 

“In my new role, I’ll be responsible for driving this mentality, and I’m eager to contribute to its continued success.”

Lisa Shacklock, group client services director at Knights, added: “We’re delighted to welcome David to Knights. 

“He brings a wealth of experience, a proven track record in delivering growth and a genuine passion for client service.

“His strategic mindset and approach to teamwork will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our presence in Leeds and across the wider Yorkshire region.”
