LAW firm Knights has boosted its revenue by more than 60 per cent during the past 12 months, to reach £33.5 million turnover.

The 64-per-cent hike is the biggest annual increase ever recorded by the firm, which has a regional base in West Way.

Last year the group’s turnover was £20.5m, up from £8m in 2011.

It employs 350 staff across six regional offices.

Chief executive David Beech said: “The past 12 months has been a major step forward in our vision to become the number one regional professional services business.

“Moving away from the traditional legal partnership-model to operate as a commercial business has allowed us to grow quickly.”
