Legal firm expands with new regional base in York’s Hudson Quarter

A national legal and professional services business has expanded its presence in Yorkshire with a new regional office in the heart of York.

Knights has announced it will be the first commercial tenant to occupy the new Hudson Quarter development in central York.

Comprising 4,700 sq ft office space, the premises will be used as a regional base for the firm as well as supporting planned growth.

Jonathan Moore, partner at Knights, commented: “It’s a privilege to work in York and we’ve enjoyed building our team organically over the past year with the recruitment of high quality partners who have been attracted to Knights due to its unique culture and business model, which offers energetic and commercially minded professionals outstanding opportunities to flourish in their careers.

“The new offices at Hudson Quarter provide us with a great runway for growth in the region, as we continue to make positive steps to build the leading, premium legal and professional services business outside London.

“Hudson Quarter really is exceptional, and we can’t wait to welcome colleagues and clients to the building in the near future.”

Developed by Palace Capital, Hudson Quarter includes 127 apartments and 39,000 sq ft of Grade A office space all set around a landscaped courtyard and grounds.

Neil Sinclair, chief executive of Palace Capital, added: “Knights is a forward thinking and ambitious business and so we are thrilled to welcome them to Hudson Quarter as our first commercial occupier.

“There has also been tremendous interest in the remaining office space and we feel that this development offers something unique in the city.”
