New senior hire for Chester-based team
Knights Solicitors LLP has appointed William Bankes to its Chester team as corporate partner.
William brings 15 years of corporate law experience to the firm—the majority of which has been gained in London—including Fladgate LLP and Pinsent Masons. After relocating to North Wales in 2011, William joined Gamlins.
William says: “Knights offers me the opportunity to conduct a broad scope of high quality, corporate work and this is part of what attracted me to the firm. It is also clear that this is a business with exciting and ambitious expansion plans where I can contribute to the growing corporate practice.”
Sally Wightman, managing partner for Knights LLP in Chester says: “William’s appointment is significant because it clearly strengthens our offering of quality, city expertise without having to gravitate to Manchester, Liverpool or London.
“As William has been operating in the North Wales and Cheshire region for the last three years, he has established a strong profile and gained great contacts within the business community which he can really maximise in his role here.”
