Primas Law, a corporate law firm with offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire and London, has welcomed Nikki Knappett as commercial partner to support ongoing plans to grow the firm’s presence across the North West.

Nikki Knappett will bring over 30 years of legal experience to the firm, including 20 years of in-house experience working in Head of Legal and General Counsel roles across a broad spectrum of businesses.
