Knights strengthens private client team in Reading

Professional services firm Knights has boosted its Reading office with the appointment of Alexander Morgan as partner in the private client team.

Alexander, a STEP member with over 13 years’ experience, specialises in estate planning, trust creation and complex estate administration. 

He advises high-net-worth individuals on English trust structures and cross-border estate matters across Europe and globally.

Alexander said: “It’s an extremely exciting time to have joined Knights, who are the standout regional professional services firm nationally.

“The firm’s unique one team approach and national scale, combined with its strong local presence across the Thames Valley region, provides a brilliant platform to deliver excellent service for clients. 

“I am already seeing the benefit of working as part of such a talented team.”

His arrival comes as Knights’ Reading office continues to expand. 

The team, which recently welcomed dispute resolution partner Peter Sheppard, will move to occupy the entire 12th floor of The Blade.

Knights employs 1350 professionals across 32 offices and ranks among the top 50 UK law firms by revenue, providing business services and premium advisory to private clients.

James Christacos, client services director at Knights, added: “Alexander is a talented lawyer who is a fantastic addition to not only our private client team nationally, but also our growing regional presence in the Thames Valley.

“I’m delighted to have Alexander onboard with yet more talented professionals set to join us as we look to deliver on our ambitious plans for growth.”
