Knights looks to sharpen growth with office move

A professional services firm is strengthening its South East presence with a strategic office move designed to support further expansion.

Knights has completed its relocation within Reading’s landmark The Blade building, moving from the 13th to the 12th floor to significantly increase capacity and create space for future growth in the Thames Valley.

Bosses say the new office almost doubles the team’s footprint, accommodating close to 100 people and offering panoramic views alongside upgraded technology, modern workspaces and enhanced meeting facilities.

With more than 250 professionals now operating across its Thames Valley offices in Reading, Oxford, Uxbridge, Beaconsfield and Ascot, they add the move will improve client access while providing a strong base for continued recruitment and investment.

James Christacos, regional client services director at Knights, said: “It’s fantastic to have moved into this new and improved office having outgrown our previous space. 

“It’s a clear signal of intent for our team in Reading that shows the scale of our ambition regionally and nationally.  

“The Blade undoubtedly reflects our premium standards and experience we want every colleague and client to feel, and this new office space definitely provides an environment that matches the quality of service we offer.  

“The Reading office is a key link between our teams across the South East and South West, with these regions working in tandem to deliver our exceptional range of expertise.

“We are growing in the Thames Valley, as we are across the UK, and this move will provide a strong base from which to deliver our comprehensive range of business and private client services – and to continue to attract the best and most ambitious professionals.” 

Knights entered the Thames Valley in April 2025 through the acquisition of IBB Law and has since continued to expand its regional network, completing further acquisitions across Essex and the South East and opening its first office outside England in Cardiff.

The Reading team has also grown, welcoming 11 new professionals including partners across dispute resolution, private client, family and regulatory services.
