Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Knights Full time

Knights has always done things differently; in 2012, we were the first organisation of our type in the UK legal sector to attract private equity investment, enabling us to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management / ownership and fee earners.

The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and since our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth.

With nearly 1500 colleagues across 26 locations and our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high-quality recent acquisitions means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets. We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services business outside London.

Our business model and culture remain a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional services business. The Group's strong position in its markets, increased scale, national reputation, differentiated model and unique culture is enabling us to attract high quality talent.

The Opportunity:

In Oxford, our Dispute Resolution team has established a strong reputation as one of the leading players for providing pragmatic and commercially minded advice, our team has outstanding technical ability.

Person Specification:

  • Strong academics;
  • Experience in Dispute Resolution with a genuine desire to develop your skills and expertise;
  • Client focus; the ability to build and sustain relationships;
  • A good eye for detail, presentation and overall high work standards;
  • Good time management skills and the ability to organise;
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team not only in Dispute Resolution but with other teams across the business; and
  • Live in, near to, or have connections to Oxford.
