Knights hires Bristol construction partner

National legal and professional services firm Knights has appointed Andrew Ash as a partner in its Bristol construction team to strengthen its regional offering.

Andrew brings extensive experience in contentious construction and engineering matters, advising on complex disputes in adjudication, arbitration and the technology and construction court. 

His sector expertise spans commercial and residential development, education, transport infrastructure and renewable energy.

Andrew joins from RWK Goodman, where he led the construction and engineering team for nine years, and previously spent 15 years at Osborne Clarke in Bristol.

He said: “I’m delighted to be joining Knights at such an exciting time for the business. 

“I am particularly excited by the 'One Team’ approach here, which has already enabled me to introduce some of my existing clients to new professional service lines that were not available at my previous practice.

“With more than 25 years working as a construction lawyer in the South West and ten years working in the Midlands and London, I am confident that my experience will help support not only the team in Bristol but also the wider team across the Knights network.”

Andrew’s appointment enhances Knights’ construction capability in the South West, where the Bristol office also advises on corporate, property litigation and real estate matters.

James Christacos, regional client services director at Knights, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Andrew to Knights at the start of an exciting year for the business.

“Bringing in someone of Andrew’s calibre demonstrates our ongoing commitment to expanding our market-leading Construction offering not just in Bristol but across the UK.”
